... Your explanation confirms that it is clipping that I need (I was wrong in what I thought the effect of masking is, but that's not what I need anyhow). Masking is translated as "Masker" indeed, and above that in the Object menu is Maskerpad, so that would be Clipping. What I do is
- select the layer with the x-mas tree
- select the x-mas tree itself
- than choose Object->Maskerpad->Instellen
Try selecting the image and the x-mas tree and then setting the "maskerpad" (clip path). The clip path only applies to the object it is applied to.
What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support? Time to move off Lotus Notes and onto the cloud with Force.com, apps are easier to build, use, and manage than apps on traditional platforms.

Jasper, Andreas,
Thanks for your suggestions!
Your advices lead to something, be it not quite yet what I had in mind...
I have selected both layers, and applied clipping. There is result now indeed. But instead of leaving visible everything within the x-mas tree, now everything is visible that is enclosed by the individual arcs that make up the tree, and the straight line between the endpoints of the arc (that line is called "koorde" in Dutch, but I don't have the English term at hand).
I have the impression that the tree is not yet seen by Inkscape as *one* object. Something I conclude also from the fact that I can move a single end point of an arc, thereby loosening it from the adjacent endpoint of the neighbor arc.
