xfwm4 window shadow "glitch"

Yes, only xfwm-4.3 (svn) has this issue. I have xfwm-4.2.2 running with
a some patches like trans window borders and so on, and everything works
well and fast. I'm not sure because I didn't had the chance to take a
look in the new code, but it seems that the whole shadow code was
rewritten and the shadow gets drawn only around the windows, which is a
good thing because semi transparent window look a lot nicer, but it is a
bit slower somehow.

Bests,
Julius
