    An effect filter that adds a drop-shadow behind the image's content.

    (This will only work on images/components that aren't opaque, of course).

    When added to a component, this effect will draw a soft-edged
    shadow based on what gets drawn inside it. The shadow will also
    be applied to the component's children.

    For speed, this doesn't use a proper gaussian blur, but cheats by
    using a simple bilinear filter. If you need a really high-quality
    shadow, check out ImageConvolutionKernel::createGaussianBlur()
