Nicu,
Thanks for the answer. Though I have to admit that some of you answer is gibberish to me :-)
I think you want something like this: http://gug.sunsite.dk/tutorials/cmarshall2/ only with a stronger, white shadow and in vector, not raster :p
I take it that the Blur Edge of 0.44 can't do the job.
Blur Edge can be used as a workaround in some cases instead of real blur
Any idea about the timing of the next version? The roadmap doesn't tell.
There are some features to be finished before the next release (with gaussian blur being one of them), I don't think anyone can give an exact date. You can compile yourself the latest version from Subversion and see exactly where is it (or try a not very up to date packaged version from the development branch: http://inkscape.org/download.php)
