Just pass it in at the usual position.

Did you pass in a valid image, or did you try to pass in a number? The latter
might not work reliably. You can also try to use the all-explicit syntax,
i.e.
(RUN_INTERACTIVE, $image, $drawable, ...

No, you pass them "as usual".

you could check this hypothesis by doing something like this:
for (0..29) {
print "IMAGE ID: ", ${$drawable->image}, "\n";
select undef, undef, undef, 0.1;
}
this (untested) snippet prints out the image id of your drawable ten times
a second. Just insert it after the call to drop_shadow (i.e. where you
formerly added the delay).
When the image id changes from -1 to something else we have found the
problem.
