GIMP includes a filter to add drop shadow to an item. There are (or were) 
some filters let you create text with a drop shadow.

You said the drop shadow on the image you are dealing with is not "normal". 
What is different about it? If the image was created by GIMP it may be 
slightly different than a drop shadow created by Photoshop (or some other 
editing program) but it was most likely created using the built-in drop 
shadow features of GIMP.
