Hi Rosika. I came here when I was looking for this problem. It seems that the problem has not been solved yet. It seems to be a compatibility issue between indicator-application-service and indicator-multiload. I decided to suppress the output of syslog and continue to use indicator-multiload although it is not the root solution.
