Window Shadow

  Hi all,
  I have a problem with shadows on transparent windows:
  I create a fullscreen borderless transparent window with a view (an
  object derived from NSView) in the center and I don't want to have a
  shadow on it.
  
      [self setBackgroundColor: [[NSColor blueColor]
  colorWithAlphaComponent:0.0]];
      [self setAlphaValue:1.0];
      [self setOpaque:NO];
      [self setHasShadow:NO];
  
  (self = myWindow)
  
  When I launch my application, all is ok (ther isn't shadow); but if I
  go to another virtual desktop (I use 'Spaces' from Mac OSX ), when I
  come back to the first screen, my view has a shadow.
  Do you have an idea (maybe it's a Mac OS bug...)?
  Regards
  Matthieu

    If it's not a bug, it's a misbehavior. I don't think there's any
  reason to expect this to happen, so I'd file it as a bug:
