this is done and committed (18001). It doesn't really change anything too
deep, so I think a modicum of testing by dev's, and a look over by
someone better versed in the gtk portion than I, would be sufficient
to call it release ready.

it appears (not tested by me) that #4 does not affect the current
report saving and if so, I can say with some confidence that it will
not affect the newly committed saved-report dialog. 

I wonder, though, if it makes sense to try and get #4 into trunk at
least partially for the next release. That would get it into the hands
of users who might mess around with it implementing their own reports
and give it a good working over. By that I mean just get the
framework and maybe a sample report into trunk for 2.4. Completion of
#4 would require way more report rewriting than I imagine anyone is up
for at the moment. very much .02
