Comment 10 for bug 399278

@mga
I think you make this a little bit to simple. I do agree with you if data output contains only a few records. In that case why not removing the MS Office functionality. It would not be necessary then either and will not make users wonder why it is not there for a Open Source Office program.

If one needs all data which could contain over 1000 record or even more like with accounting, copy/paste is not sufficient anymore. One would have the data directly pushed in a spreadsheet.

To my guesses make the needed dependencies directly into the setup.py routine of the GTK-client and webserver and it will work out of the box for both clients (web and gtk) with the provided code.
I don't see the problem as KDE-client can adopt it directly while GTK can't?

But perhaps I did misunderstand your comment? Feel free to correct me if that's the case.
