Carsten, This is something that is long overdue in PyMOL. While this hasn't been on the top of my stack of things to do, I'll reconsider as I think it'll be immediately useful. The workaround in the meantime is to render different layers by repositioning the clipping planes and compositing your final image. I think this messes up shadows, though. If anyone is particularly skilled at this technique, posting a page on the wiki would be useful.
