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.
