Mutter is not going to solve this, because the distinguishing factor
of windows with client-side decorations is that they are decorated
client-side :-) As such, if the decorations are not what they should be,
it is up to the client (or its library stack) to fix this.

The upstream bug was closed during the GNOME 3.16 cycle, and I see drop
shadows for half-maximized windows with GNOME 3.26 (tested with gedit).
