That is a working solution. I would encourage an elegant solution which follows the model of OS X's menu bar (the equivalent of a panel in GNOME). The menu bar casts a shadow, however, it does not cast it upon any other windows than the root window (desktop). The difference is subtle, but beautiful. See attached screenshot.
