[GNC] Report headings, can one separate the company name from the report name?

Two things:

First, you may be not have considered all of the report options. I 
haven't looked at all gnucsh reports, but the ones that I have allow you 
to control the "title" of the report. This might be more obvious to 
folks like me doing books for non-profits << by custom the report titled 
"Income Statement" and/or "Profit and Loss" is called "Statement of 
Revenues and Expenses" or just "Statement of Revenues" for short if the 
entity is a non-profit >>

Second (and in this case your "hack" is in the right direction) if you 
considered your question in a more general form, you might see that 
things like this sort of "pretty printing" best done AFTER exporting 
from gnucash where you have a great deal of potential editing power. For 
example, suppose you had said "I want to have my company logo up at the 
top". You wouldn't expect to be doing that from WITHIN gnucash. But it 
could be other "pretty printing" matters like "I want the body lines 
font size X but the total lines font size Y, etc."
