[sugar] Log Viewer -> View Log? (Was: [PATCH] Log Viewer overhaul)

[Eduardo Silva]

Hi Guys,

I've missed this thread... , if some contributor wants to improve VIEW
LOG(S) please feel free to do it, there's so many missed features that
can be done...

ATM I'm re-coding memphis in order to use new metrics found in the
latest kernels, if you want I can retake Analize Activity and improve
it a little bit...

cheers.

Eduardo.
