Create the symbol containig the section of shield  (single side or corner to 
make the symbol visible), to have refdes and other necessary attributes, 
place it on the schematic and draw the rest of the shield  with a line (_not_ 
net). With a little editing of sch/sym file, a dashed line can be made 
(fileformat supports this).

WISHLIST: dotted/dashed lines in gschem menu
