there are 2 ways. 1 - convert it to a pattern fill, and apply it to the shape. 2 - Use the shape to clip the bitmap (Object - clip - set)

Is there some way to import a bitmap into Inkscape and then trim the bitmap to match some arbitrarily drawn shape?
I've tried doing a boolean 'intersection' between an imported bitmap and a closed curve object I've created to no avail. Do I have to trace the bitmap first?
Any hints or tips how best to do it would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I'm experimenting with screencasting and have created a quick Inkscape screencast to try it out: ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfMDIK4uvV8)
