The classic session didn't receive much love in the last dev cycle; lots of regressions, and I'm not sure there's much interest in fixing them. :(

I've the same bug, but using gtk-window-decorator don't change anything. Always the same large (and ugly) shadow.

I share the same problem: I'm trying to disable window shadows for performance reasons as unity turns out a bit slow on my Neo II K325 but failed.

You can change it by editing the theme file

eg /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml

Also, if you use a theme which doesn't explicitly set shadow
properties, the settings in the compiz decor plugin will take effect.

The shadow shows lots of corruption on fglrx, so disabling it would definitely be an improvement there.
