Ok, fixed in tango cvs now (thanks jimmac!). I must admit that I never 
quite liked the tone in your complains about the shadows, but anyway, 
now it's fixed.
We're planning on moving over to svg-filters for the shadows once they 
are properly implented in Inkscape and when librsvg (almost there) and 
ksvg2 renders them perfectly. AndyFitz actually made it working by 
inserting a class into a svg file by hand, so it's not that far away. I 
really own that man a beer.
Will take care of the shadows in Tangerine sometime this weekend.
Take care!
