Description Francois Chouinard CLA 2010-12-15 15:10:03 EST 
While debugging another issue, I noticed that the LTTng timestamp displayed in the Events view was sometimes off by one.

Looking at the toString() method, it turned out that the formatting was done using float arithmetic... maybe not the best idea.

Proper formatting of the LTTng timestamp

Got rid of the float arithmetic (and the round-off error) and implemented a more straightforward solution that spares us from messing with numerical analysis for no good reason.
