Yes, 100% Inkscape.

Unfortunately Inkscape does not have yet real gaussian blur, so you have 
to use a workaround for the moment. The good news is the next version, 
0.45 *will* have a gaussian blur filter, implemented as a Google Summer 
of Code project.
The drop shadow in my files was created using the "Blur Edge" effect.

Sorry to the list if my reply was offtopic.
