Yes, I am agree. One point is that I do not think that we need
distincts x and y (Dan?).

Yes agree again. But do you think that the user will like to give
the directions with a number?
So the syntax may be:
shadow=<size> [directions]
where directions is a space separated list constituted by se (default), s,
n, o, e, so, ne, no and all. Or maybe we can use "iconbox" directions
bl, b, t, l, r, br, tr, tl.
