I like rekall for what it is but its kde so i excluded it orginally, its
properly the most mature workable solution out there. I'm just trying
to look at gnome here. gnue i wont go into. Mozilla i never paid enough
attention because of my shortsigntness in assuming its just a browser
technology. But i recently did a project in xul. Its a interesting
powerful perspective.

If word processes and spreedsheets did a good job of reporting people
wouldn't be using ms access and crystal reports and whole raft of other
solutions for doing reporting under windows. word processers only offer
a limited solution for reports.
