Heh - this was the question because of which I originally subscribed, see
http://www.nabble.com/Visualizing-hg-repositories-to16630377.html#a16634461

I think the graphviz extension is quite cool, "hg view" is power- and useful, 
but uses TCL/TK, hg glog is also quite useful, and I was surprised to learn 
that "hgtk log" (which is more or less comparable to hg view, but uses GTK) 
also works with Linux.
