I am not aware of anything that is up the access GUI standard.

I understand that both Gnome and KDE have "work in progress" applications.
KDE (which I'm more familiar with, and a developer on) has Kexi and Kugar.
Kexi is the front end, and Kugar is a report generator.
See  http://www.kexi-project.org/screenshots.html
http://www.koffice.org/kexi/ and http://www.thekompany.com/projects/kugar/

I think there might be other GUI for MySQL as well, but I'm not able to 
recommend any.
