[PATCH] Draw shadows on maximized windows

Maximized windows do not have shadows with KWin, but certain panel configurations would need shadows on maximized windows to look consistent.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a panel that does not extend to the full length of the screen
2. Maximize a window

I'm sorry, but it is fully intended that maximized windows don't have shadows. The patch therefore cannot be added.
Comment 2 Steffen Coenen 2017-10-31 09:43:17 UTC 
So this is the intended look with the OpenGL Compositor?

Meanwhile Xrender always looks like this and draws shadows on maximized windows:
