[Gimp-user] Drop shadow

[ustharp <forums gimpusers com>]

I am creating a GIF animation over a static background.  I want the background
to have a drop shadow.  For some reason when I do this, my drop shadow turns
solid... it does not fade out.  It is just a solid offset layer.  I can't for
the life of me understand why.

Any ideas?
