First screenshot uses Alexandre's shadow. The second uses the CSS3
box-shadow attribute (this has the advantage of not requiring an
additional
image, but won't work in Konqueror and may be "too much" shadow for
Alexandre's taste).

Visually I prefer the CSS shadow. However, in all honesty when I first
read Alexandre's description I envisioned something more like the
reflection shown below the icon in this image:
http://rtg.in.ua/galleries/mythtv/mythtv-screen.jpg
We could tone down the reflection a bit and make the horizontal line more
prominent; this would also help segment the page a bit so that the
screenshot isn't running into the news as much,
Thoughts on whether this is a good idea or terrible?
Thanks!

Used properly (tastefully) I see no problem with it. Let's see what looks like.
Here I provide a sample of what it would look like with a false shadow
under the main screenshot.
It loks good, without being an appleish ''too much'' shadow.
I also provide the false shadow alone and an orange RSS logo, from the
KFaenza icon theme. To have the shadow smaller, just resize vertically
the picture.
