Bug Description

the shadow of gloobus' window is not following the roundness of the window's corners. it looks like the radius is not the same and therefor the shadow looks misplaced. imho it should be the compositor's task to draw the shadow anyway. why does gloobus provide its own shadow?

compared to other windows, gloobus' shadow doesn't fit in with the rest and just looks bad, sorry.

Gloobus, does not use the manager composition, so it can draw its own windod (the nice black interface). Doing these, the shadows are not drawn by the composite manager, so gloobus needs to draw its own.

The solution would be a better shadow algorithm so if anyone wants to help, it is in gloobusWin.cpp file function draw_shadow()

In the newInterface branch, shadows are the same radius as the window ;)
