It seems to depend on the background the cursor is on. For instance, it looks fine on a normal white background for me, but if I place the cursor over a title bar, the edge of the shadow does indeed become a solid black line. So I think it's just a little buglet in the way the shadow is drawn, which the XFree people need to fix. (I use the Bluecurve-Green Sawfish theme, from art.gnome.org). -- adamw
