Summary: --disable-dropshadow configure option

Initial Comment:
This patch pokes the preprocessor logic in
src/gtkblist.c so that it's possible to explicitly
prevent the tooltip drop-shadow effect.

It's annoying to me. Nobody else probably gives a crap.

Just turn it off by default.

I heard there was some distribution that was having issues
with the drop shadows, they may be interested in the patch
for their own package, I'm unsure...

Would it be acceptable with just the gtkblist.c bits of the
patch? That way someone could still explicitly disable it
with a CFLAG.

I usually try to apply patches from frequent patch writers
even if I don't completely agree with them... but I think
I'm going to have to skip this one.  The implementation is
good, I just don't like the idea of adding a configure
option that very few people will use.

I'll leave this open for a little bit in case other people
thing the option is a good idea.

As an aside, I remember hearing that some recent versions of
xorg provide their own, built-in drop-shadow support?  We'll
want to not enable Gaim's drop-shadow in that instance, if
this is true.
