Comment(by Torsten.Maehne@…):

 I have done some further testing of my application bundle. Unfortunately,
 my solution does not work perfectly. It works fine as long as the figure
 does not include any text labels. If I type CMD-L to typeset the text
 labels with pdflatex, I get the following an error message pops up: "An
 error occured during the Pdflatex run" "There was an error trying to run
 Pdflatex". The TeX file is correctly created in  ~/.ipe/latexrun/ and
 compiles without errors when running pdflatex manually.

 A similar error was reported on the Ipe-discuss mailing list:
 http://mail.cs.uu.nl/pipermail/ipe-discuss/2011-July/001324.html

 Ipe's sources suggest (./src/ipelib/ipeplatform.cpp:303) that it just runs
 "pdflatex ipetemp.tex". Therefore, pdflatex needs to be found in the PATH.
 This is the case from the command line, where I have added /usr/texbin to
 the PATH via ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. However, the therein defined
 environment variables don't seem to be respected by applications launched
 from the Finder. I tried to add the correct PATH as an entry to the
 Info.plist under the LSEnvironment key, as described in:

 http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.23/23.07/2307MacEnterprise-
 EnvironmentVariables/index.html
 http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPRuntimeConfig/Articles/EnvironmentVars.html

 However, this does not seem to have any effect.
