+ KLatexFormula does not work in recent Kubuntu/Ubuntu due to the new
  version of Ghostscript.
  
+ From version 9.10 (at least) ghostscript dropped support for the pswrite
+ output device, substituting it with ps2write. No backward compatibility
+ has been added.

unusable at least in 13.10 and 14.04.

click on the formula symbol to generate the graphic. The application fail with 
the gs error about non-existent pswriter device. 
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ Very low. The application is unusable in its state, and is a "terminal" 
application, nothing depend on it.
