FYI: after some discussion with Hugo I updated the wiki page with a slightly 
modified version. The shadow is now specified in one property following the 
_NET_WM_ICON way and shadows for focused and unfocused windows can be 
specified.

Please have a look. I plan to implement it next weekend.

Cheers
Martin
