Bug Description

On ubuntu 14.10 gnome-system-log has the new headerbars (look at the screenshot).
It should look like all other ubuntu applications.

Fixing this entails changing the style of header bars in css files and adding new icons which are used for the window buttons (close, minimize, maximize, restore). "window-close-symbolic" is also used on tab widgets in some applications, such as gnome-terminal and gedit. Those look slightly different with the change.

Rationale for including this after UI freeze: more than anticipated GNOME applications in the archive got updated to use a header bar instead of a traditional title bar. We've patched default applications, but there's a lot of apps left (for example, gnome-system-logs, devhelp, gnome-font-viewer). Making them look a bit more consistent with other apps is desirable, as they look very much out of place now.

This doesn't affect the desktop guide. Reasonable change from a translation POV as well. UIFe granted.
