Not being able to use latex in inkscape is definitely a show-stopper for
me. I used to use the textext extension, but sadly it seems to be broken
in Ubuntu Harty (inkscape v0.46). So I was happy to learn inkscape
included a new built-in option for rendering latex. Except that doesn't
work either! I had to install the python lxml package to get past the
first error. But now, I get another error I am unable to resolve.

This happens when I click Effects -> Render -> Latex Formula and then
click apply (accepting the default content).
If anyone can find a workaround/fix for this, that would rock. I need
latex to annotate my paper figures.
