  @ngraham 
  A follow up on the menu vs window decoration shadow size, and a suggestion for the \
window decoration shadow size option, for discussion.  
  - right now there is an explicit 3/4 (12/16) conversion factor between the menu \
shadow size and the window shadow size, which I believe is working correctly, except \
possibly with update glitches, when the window size is changed.  
  Maybe this scale-down is too small especially since the new default window shadow \
size is larger, and one could for instance try 1/2 (or even 1/4th) instead of 3/4  
  - on the shadow size option: thinking about it, it makes little sense to have a \
"per pixel" option (especially in a world where you have high dpi screens which blur \
the definition of "pixel"). One could imagine instead having a combobox with a set of \
well defined fixed values, similar to what we have for icon sizes already, or window \
borders.  
  I could think of something like
  
  - tiny: 16 pix
  - small: 32 pix
  - normal: 64 pix (your current default)
  - large: 96 pix
  - huge: 128
  
  this, with a reduction of a factor 2, or 4, for the menu shadows wrt window \
shadows.  What do you think ?
