Unfortunately, it's not really so simple. We can write shadows appropriately
for WMs which interact well with the nonstandard hints GTK CSDs are using.
However, from my basic understanding, they conflict with KWin's current
architecture and fail to conform to a stable implementation. This is part of
why ARGB doesn't function as desired to round off window corners, for instance.
In the case of shadows, that would result in a thick, fully opaque border
around every CSD window.

In a brief discussion I had with Martin, he made it fairly clear that the
amount of work required to use unsupported hints like these isn't trivial and
would potentially be wasted as minor changes could break such functionality.

Unless he changes his mind about that, or I've misunderstood him, it's unlikely
we'll see a resolution to this without some extra work on GTK itself.
