Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

The only setting in the window decoration plugin that can be adjusted is the color. There appears  no way to change anything else concerning shadows inc. not using them or at the very least reducing to a min.
The current default shadow effect looks quite 'messy' and unprofessional
