I did:

- Open the original image

- If not present add an alfa channel

- Select the object you want to drop a shadow

- Invert the selection

- Cut the selection

- Past the selection into another layer

- Put that layer as the bottom layer

- Select the first/object layer

- Remove any selection

- Drop the shadow
