The shadow effect is known to be broken since at least 4.5.
It is unfortunately in a state which makes it difficult to maintain
and the architecture has some serious drawbacks. Therefore it is the
best solution to replace the effect with a new and better
implementation. For more information about the new implementation
please see the discussion on KWin mailinglist:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kwin&m=129607406517609&w=2
This also "fixes" all existing bug reports about the shadow effect.
Most of the bugs will really be fixed when the new shadow system is
implemented, if not it is a new bug and a new report should be created
for it.
Please excuse that we go this unnormal approach to mark bugs as
fixed with code removal.

Our primary target is Texture From Pixmap and it is supported
by all important drivers nowadays. If a driver is not able to
support TFP using OpenGL at all is probably no good idea and
XRender is more suited.

* typo fix: brightning -> brightening.
* you'll -> you will (see the HIG note on contractions I mentioned in the
previous edit)
* some grammar changes, adding a period at the end of the final message,
and fixing the fragmented sentence beginning '(From..'.

Avoid contractions, in this case "you'll". See the HIG for more details:
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/Contractions
(I also changed 'have to try' to 'have to try it', to make it clearer what
it was that needed to be tried. Though, I have to admit, even I would not
have changed the string for that alone... ;). )
