Description:
MySQL Administrator does not open the logs on fedora 6.
It seems to think they are in /var/lib/mysql but they are as set in the my.cnf file and as recorded in administrator in /var/logs/ which may I add is where the Fedora 6 installation puts them as a default.

How to repeat:
Try it. When on the log page in Mysql Administrator, you it just says 

/var/lib/mysql: invalid file

The question is is why is it looking there!

Suggested fix:
Get mysql administrator to read the config files to find out where the logs are so  it can try and open the correct files in the correct place!!

Thank you for the bug report. On Ubuntu the Error log file which tries
to open is /var/log/mysql and the slow log in /var/lib/mysql.

Problem still in 5.0r10
