Feature request: Drop shadow underneath solid figures and text

[Colin Dean]

A very useful feature I've found in OSX Preview is that arrows and text and other solid figures may have a drop shadow. Drop shadows are useful for when you'd like to a use a certain color arrow, but that color clashes with the background.

I imagine the drop shadow being a checkbox when creating a new arrow or text figure. Its offset would be only 1 or 2 px, with a blur radius of < 4 px, a >80% opacity with black as the drop. These are my standard settings for when I do this manually with GIMP.
