Thaking this in a slightly different direction, with the Inkscape currently in CVS you can 'fake' a drop shadow using two effects: "Dropshadow" and "Blur Edge". Here's a quick example of what can be done -- although it is still a little bit rough.

I see in the Help file 'tips' that blur drop shadows are not yet implemented. But that I should read the [[usr]/share/extensions/inkscape-shadow.README file.
There is not such file that I can find in the Linux file tree.
I do see .sh files and a svg_dropshadow script. Can anyone tell be how to do blurred drop shadows in Inkscape now, in version .41?
I'm new to Inkscape and Scribus, coming from InDesign CS and Paint Shop Pro 9. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
