Hello Steve,
there has been some progress with the pdf export. So if you try a current snapshot version and check again that would be perfect.
Actually, I think it's the other way round. 0.45 did export transparency and gradients into PDF just fine. But in the devel version we switched to Cairo PDF export which indeed rasterizes a lot of stuff. We relied on the promises of Cairo guys to improve that but it's not done yet.
Much to my surprise, with the latest stable Cairo (1.4.10) and the current Inkscape devel version, I'm able to export gradients with transparency (both on stroke and fill) to pure vector PDFs using the Cairo exporter. I think that's better than the last time I tried, with an older Cairo version(?). However, setting master opacity to anything less than 100% on any object yields a raster PDF. Blur is ignored, but at least doesn't cause complete rasterization.
