Original description:

Because we don't want the log file to grow without bounds and we want all
instances of Shotwell to log to the same file, we have a situation where the
app will overwrite an existing file at startup. If a second app (image viewer)
launches while one is running (library mode), the file is deleted again. At
the next log write a series of NULs are written followed by the log output.

One solution would be to open-write-close the file each time. It might be
worth considering writing the log in a background thread if we go this route.
