Most YaST modules, when launched directly through a menu entry in a desktop
environment (as opposed to from the YaST Control Center), ask to elevate
permissions before starting the given module.

However, the "Systemd Journal" module errors-out with the following when
attempting to launch its .application file as exposed by a desktop environment:

---SNIP---
Reading the journal entries failed.

No journal files were opened due to insufficient permissions.
---/SNIP---

This makes the menu entry pretty useless, since the only non-command-line way
to launch the module is to start YaST Control Center and then launch it from
there. So thus, I think it should ask to elevate permissions.

Thanks!
