You mean like a shadow of a real object, which is a grey copy of the object
casting the shadow? ;-). Anyway, you should report the issue as a wishlist
to bugs.kde.org, where an appropriate developer can take a look at it. (I'm
not very familiar with the translucency stuff, but is the shadowing done by
xcompmgr or some other non-KDE thing? If so, it wouldn't be a KDE issue.
ICBW on that though.)

Philip
