No error is displayed anywhere that I can see (eg in ~.xsession-errors). Running 'pkexec gnome-system-log' from gnome-terminal prompts the user for authentication to get sudo privileges, so it appears likely that either unity tries to run the command and it fails, or runs it but doesn't display the authentication window.
