Maybe he wants _real shadows_, when there is shadows over windows, not only on the "wallpaper"

Damn hard to explain

bling module is composite, so the shadows are everywhere. It isn't enabled by default.

But if it has the same problem as xcompmgr... I have no idea what could cause it. You could try moving the configs for e somewhere... and see if it works with a clean system.
