Whoever put that in "about me" was a real putz. For that matter, whoever came 
up with calling a group of technical settings "about me" -- and -- whoever 
signed off on the idea --> should be shot.

That's 1/2 the problem with kde4, users can't find the normal configuration 
parameters without having to expand every possible hiding place and hunt and 
pick through every sub-option to find what was easily found an logically 
placed in kde3. "about me", give me a break...

Go try to find the old "Window Decoration -> Menu Drop Shadow" setting... Good 
Luck :-)
