Testing with Hixie's code (https://zewt.org/~glenn/canvas-glow.html), the
output is very close to "inner shadow" in Photoshop (distance 0, size 22):

(I'm testing against inner shadow instead of inner glow; inner glow seems
to do something a little more complex at the blur step than a gaussian
blur.  Tested in Chrome 21; output in Firefox is different, but I probably
need to update.)
