Do you think it would be much effort to add this to inkscape, too? Because I *really* prefer inkscape over xfig :) inkscape could became the tool of choice making figures for LaTeX.. xfig is nice but lacks some functionality.
We now have a "LaTeX with pstricks" export format. Have you tried it?
The other thing is when exporting to ps inkscape currently just ignores transparency.. All you would have to do having two rectangles
That would only work for flat transparency, not gradient transparency or masking. So it would mean a lot of coding and still not really solving the problem. I will not of course object to someone implementing it, but my personal opinion is that it's not worth it. If you need PS, don't use transparency. If you need transparency, use a more modern format, not PS.
