[vtkusers] vtkCaptionActor2D mangles fonts

[Paul]

On further inspection, the issue seems to be entirely with the drop
shadow. It isn't offseting properly, and parts of it seem to be
coloured white (even though the text is white). Perhaps the coordinate
system is confusing it? I'm using vtk-5.2.1.
