Strace shows firestarter escaping the configured system log path:

access("\"/var/log/kern.log\"", F_OK)   = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
access("/var/log/messages", F_OK)       = 0

This happens regardless of the presence of single of double quotes
enclosing the path, or whether the path is set with 'gconftool-2'
or 'gconf-editor'.  The file certainly exists and is readable
by the user, which is a member of 'adm' group:

ls -l /var/log/kern.log

 64 -rw-r----- 1 root adm 57695 2009-06-27 13:31 /var/log/kern.log
