logout fade is ugly and slow

Bug 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.

hmph! if you're gonna be keeping track of things like 'karma', then you need to make sure to mark later bug reports as duplicates of earlier ones, and not vice-versa. i loose karma for filing a legit bug report, and the guy who doesn't bother to check for a duplicate gets my credit! :P

I'm not sure on how they calculate the karma for duplicate but we usually keep the most useful bug (ie: were comments have been made)
