The shadow is opaque, because bitmaps are opaque in PostScript. There  
is no workaround. It works correctly if you don't care about rgb in  
your output. Otherwise, don't use them in 8.0.x, or keep them black,  
or export the object you want to have a shadow, withOUT the shadow, to  
eps, open it in Photoshop, add the drop shadow, keep it in cmyk space,  
save that as an eps, and place that back into Creator.
