More examples of the same.
A jpeg image does not support transparency, you can add transparency and maybe grow the layer and the GEGL filter will work. Otherwise the old legacy drop shadow is still there and that adds its own transparent layer underneath for the shadow effect.
...but then when there is transparency, using say a png image the GEGL filter works on that layer. What is the advantage over the old filter ? The GEGL filter draws directly on the canvas for you to adjust in real time.
