[ubuntu 14.04] bad launcher shadow

[lenooh]

In ubuntu 14.04 the window shadow size seems to have been increased. This also affects the shadow of the launcher popups, but it looks wrong (see attached image, shadow of the launcher popup). It looks like the shadow has a cutoff distance and does not fade out smoothly. Also the edges are rough.

In the image I have also added a normal window with its shadow for comparison (which is OK).
