My styles are leaking

I wrote a style in XAML that applies a DropShadowBitmapEffect to some
DockPanels in my Window. This works great. The problem is that, thanks
to property value inheritance, now *everything* inside these
DockPanels has a drop shadow.

I generally like property value inheritance, but I would like to turn
it off in this case. Is that even possible? If not, how do I insert a
"default bitmap effect" or "null bitmap effect" into the styles for
controls lower in the tree?

To reiterate, I want to know how to make a container have a drop
shadow without all the items in the container having a drop shadow.

Thanks very much for your help,

Dan,

What is the XAML that you are using to apply the style? Something tells
me that you are not discriminating too much in how you are applying the
style.
