        Recentely also wxMaxima (a front-end to Maxima written in
        wx/gtk) was added to the unstable archive:

        % apt-cache search wxmaxima
        wxmaxima - a wxWidgets GUI for the computer algebra system maxima

        If you use maxima 5.9.2, I suggest to use the package version
        0.6.3 that fixes compatibility issues with the latest maxima release.
        It is available at:

        http://people.debian.org/~zufus/wxmaxima

        and will be uploaded in the archive in the next few days.  The
        package is very young.. tests, comments and bug reports are
        welcome.

        Regards
