Yes, it is there, but this doesn't seem like a very logical place for it.

The colors should be in the "Colors" KCM module.  I would suggest that the current widget 
be the first tab: "Scheme" and a second tab: "Desktop" be added for the desktop colors.

Note: if at some time in the future there are other colors that need to be changed 
separate from the main scheme, this tab can be changed to: "Other" or perhaps it should be 
called that to start with.

This leaves the question of where to place the option: "Enable Shadow".  IMO, the best 
place for this is on the: "Miscellaneous" tab in: "Appearance & Themes => Style".
