Another thought - if we wanted to do this the best way would be to add a
new option to the decor plugin for "dynamic shadowing" which would use the
shader + fbo trick that I mentioned earlier. Then that option would tell
the decor plugin to tell the decorators to not generate any shadows (they
read the options directly from an xprop we set).
