Sorry, found it!
My actual problem is I want to export a cross-hatched object to eps. I tried the pattern fill (create a small 45 degrees slanted line and Object->pattern it), but that doesn't export the fill at all. Now masking doesn't export the mask :(. Any ideas?
Save as "Cairo PS" preserves the pattern fills (in current development version of Inkscape at least, I am not sure Cario PS is available in 0.45). An other work around is to make a bitmap copy of your object (alt+B) and trace it (Path > Trace bitmap). It's tedious and not the best way to do it but if your image is just black and white it should work correctly (except for the fact that tracing bitmap seems to be broken in development versions).
