Oh! I can't WAIT to Inkscape again...
So, Jasper, actually the real problem is not realy the transparancy an sich, but gradients with transparency, isn't it? And it get's realy tough when transparency gradients overlap. Inkscape can handle it, but the rest of the world can't.
Indeed, in illustrator, one CAN set the transparency value of any object.

Hey Martin,
The answer to similar questions posted earlier on this forum is always: "you can't" :( And that's because of the PDF/EPS format, that can't (officially?) handle transparancy.
This is true, but Inkscape could definitely do better than a bitmap copy in many cases. As long as you don't have two gradients getting mixed it should always be possible to convert overlapping polygons with transparency into equivalent non-overlapping polygons without transparency. I would recommend the original poster to check whether a feature request already exists and otherwise post it at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/
Obviously this wouldn't help your current situation, but it might get into the next version.
