Bug Description

Compiz's Window Decoration plugin should have its default shadow_radius value change from 9.0000 to 15.0000 to make shadows appear more natural and add depth to the desktop.

How about this in addition to a radius of 15 pixels? This is purely subjective, of course, but I’d say this makes the shadows more natural.

as_shadow_x_offset = 3
as_shadow_y_offset = 5
