Aha, ok.  I don't understand a lot of the internals of the control center.

I'd noticed that :)  A good filtering method would be useful, or even just an 
enhanced filtering method in the misc/system log viewer - something that 
would isolate certain types of actions being taken. It's a pretty big log and 
I can't claim to understand what a large percentage of them are recording.
