[Bug 37952] logout fade is ugly and slow

[Alvin Thompson]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
using dapper (64-bit) on an Acer Ferrari 4000 laptop with ATI fglrx
drivers. the problem may be present on other computers as well.

when i press the logout button on my computer, it shows the new logout
dialog (which i love). however, the screen fade effect is slow and looks
like it's using too few colors, resulting in an ugly effect.

would it be possible to use the same logout code as the gksudo dialog?
when gksudo fades the screen it looks very smooth and nice.

this bug supercedes bug #18697 and bug #34445, which i believe should be
marked as fixed.
