** Description changed:

  light-themes 0.1.8.10, compiz 1:0.9.4-0ubuntu7, Ubuntu Natty
  
  For an unfocused window, the light source for its shadow is somewhere
  above and behind your head: the shadow is small and appears only on the
  sides and bottom, not the top.
  
  For a focused window, however, the light source for the shadow appears
  to be attached to your nose. It is equally wide around all four sides of
  the window, which means it must be centered on the window, but your head
  isn't casting a shadow on the window, so the light source must be
  between your face and the window, but then why can't you see the light
  source itself?
  
  It's perfectly legitimate for the shadows of focused and unfocused
  windows to be different widths; it suggests the focused window is closer
  to the light source, and therefore closer to you. But the position of
  the light source must be the same, otherwise it looks fake. This can
  easily be fixed by removing the shadow from the top side of focused
  windows.
+ 
+ It may save time to fix bug 659816 at the same time as this bug.
