[forehead smack] Jim's right, I should have mentioned this is the easy way to do a round rect window. I'm used to the pre-graphic effects days of LC (Rev) where the only way to create a shadow for a custom window was to create a mask shape in an image-editing app along with its dropshadow and slice that into 9 tiles. Now one can simply add a dropshadow to a round rect graphic, place the graphic in a group with a suitably large margin, and import the windowshape mask image as a snapshot of the group. Good call Jim.
