Comment 7 for bug 172123

Oh, and I wanted to mention that the tip described in comment #1 *does* still work, but the wording is ambiguous. The last few steps should go like this:

-click on layer 1 in the XML editor (this will select it)
-hold shift and click on the rect in the canvas, NOT the XML editor or it will deselect the layer
-object->clip->set

The same thing works for masks, BTW.

It's nice to have this as a last resort, but there really should be a proper UI for it.

Thanks!
