Any of the noise filters that have a "New Seed" option

Clicking on "New Seed" results in a zero value - not very random

    app: fix propgui random seed generation
    
    After the switch of random-seed properties from INT to UINT, their
    upper bound results in a negative value when converted to a
    gint32, causing a CRITICAL in the call to g_random_int_range().
    Use g_random_double_range() instead, which has enough precision to
    accurately represent all values in the range, and round the result.
