Sorry Bulia, but you are not getting the point, I think.
A tileable pattern is not just a pattern that you tile, is a piece of image that once tiled you cannot notice where does one tile finnishes and where starts another.
http://www.squidfingers.com/patterns/
They are complex patterns, not just chessboard like patterns.
Designers make them by extending the image from the right to enter from the left and the top from the bottom so the designer is the one that makes the pattern tileable, not the software (very bad explained :) see second link).
The software helps for this task. He is asking for an icon view like view (again) to check the pattern being designed is ***seamless*** tileable.
See an example of the technique: http://veerle.duoh.com/index.php/blog/comments/creating_patterns_in_photosho... In the screenshots you can see that the designer mirrors left-right and top-bottom elements so the borders are not recognised later when tiled. None.none wants Inkscape to simulte the mirroring or something like that, not sure how to exactly Inkscape can help in this task.
Am I right, none.none? I personally agree with his or her feature request.
Yours: Néstor

yeah, right now if you want to create a tileable pattern you have to keep exporting your work just to check if it tiles ok. It would be nice if you could work with a tiled display mode to make the creation of tiles easier

I think the feature being requested involves being able to create one part of the pattern and have Inkscape create the rest using symmetry.
Something like Blender's Mirror modifier, in which edits you make to the mesh are mirrored across a particular axis, but adapted for 2D and (maybe) more general.

I envisage some kind of tileable mode where anything you move beyond a given side of the document appears automatically on the opposite side. This way you could preview your tile while creating it
Check the help - Inkscape has a "pattern fill" (I think, from memory)
- it works just fine.
