Bug Description
Binary package hint: zim
Preferably the user should be warned that dvipng is not installed if they try to use the Formula Plugin rather than getting a massive log file with no obvious indication of what's going wrong. Even a short and specific error message would be useful. This kind of thing really baffles people if they don't have a clue about possible problems.
At the very least dvipng should be listed as recommended in deb package.

Now an error message is shown when trying to open the equation editor without latex or dvipng installed.
Committed tot trunk.
