The problem, that the fade out effect doesn't only darken the image but
also freezes it, remains.

I have for example trouble with this when entering a password in gksudo.
As I can't see what I type I must rely on muscle memory, and this in
turn rely on me using an 'us' layout of the keyboard while I sometimes
have an 'sv' layout. Switching between layouts isn't that hard, but I
can't tell from the keyboard indicator that it has actually switched
when the screen is faded.

My example isn't a problem when it comes to logging out. But I'm sure
that someone with other needs can run into related troubles...
