Well, Torstan's tutorial agree's with you, but I kinda like the drop shadow on the crumbly walls. I was looking at the poster map for Sceptre Tower of Spell Guard for inspiration, and I liked how their ruined walls looked with the drop shadow. You don't notice it quite so much when its printed. I will however check our your suggestion. I originally used the GIMP walnut texture, but everything was brown, brown, brown and I wanted to add some contrast.

If your looking for some good textures, check out Genetica Viewer. It has hundreds of free(non commercial) use textures built in which you can provide some randomization to (including changing the color, brightness, scale, etc) before exporting a final jpg for use in a map. I use it all the time.
