Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Maximized windows drop shadows which can't be seen on the same screen.
This appears to be a waste of GPU resources, although this is just a
guess by me.

Furthermore, in a multi-screen environment, the drop-shadow becomes
visible on adjacent screens. This looks really ugly, because the
relation to the originating window is not obvious (monitor bezels are
inbetween).

I would expect maximized windows to not drop any shadow.
