Just to let people know, I have updated the logging work a bit more. Now
logs are saved as:

  ~/.gnome2/Gossip/logs/<account>/<contact>/<date>.log

OR

  ~/.gnome2/Gossip/logs/<account>/chatrooms/<room at server>/<date>.log

The main reason for this is that it makes searching for logs (and
getting a list of dates) by contact and chatroom a lot quicker and more
efficient.

Any logs before tonights commit will not show up in the GUI but will
still be there somewhere :)
