Yes that would be possible, but I don't think it is a good idea as shaders are 
not supported by all hardware. For example my notebook (Ati) does not support 
shaders. And shadows should also be possible with XRender.

Btw I like Lubos' suggestion with introducing a new WindowQuadType. That's a 
very elegant way. And with enough quads it should be possible to have non-
rectangular shows as well, although it could be complicated.
