If the USE-flag postscript is activated in media-gfx/inkscape-0.45.1-r1 the possibility of rendering LaTeX-formulaes in inkscape as described here (http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Effects-Render.html#Effects-Latex) is activated. But for the conversion from ps to svg media-gfx/pstoedit must be compiled against GNU libplot, this is done by the USE-flag plotutils. But this behaviour should be checked by the inkscape ebuild!

Check added. Thanks for the report.
