In the Information Panel the caching mechanism of the thumbnails is not used. I guess \
(but I'm not sure) that probably you have some outdated thumbnails in your \
~/.thumbnail directory (maybe those caches have been created during your code was not \
finalized). Either adjusting the timestamp of your files or deleting the ~/.thumbnail \
directory could bypass this problem.

The shadow is drawn by a private class in kdelibs/kfile/kfilepreviewgenerator.cpp

I'd also be happy to have this kind of shadow available for other usecases too (e. g. \
in the Information Panel), but I currently don't have the time to do the refactoring \
and think about a proper integration of this shadow to the thumbnails :-/

Best regards,
Peter
