[Bug 49221] How to solve it, and why I'm not fixing it.

[Christof Krüger]

Hi Scott,

funny enough, I was looking on the 13_smoother_fading patch today
because it didn't work well on my machine (xinerama setup) but it didn't
have anything to do with the bug you are referencing. I've uploaded a
revised patch on launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/12389

It is based on the upstream implementation but and does not use usleep.
It fixes the problems with multi-monitor setups and with the strange
colors. It should be faster than the upstream code also, but it would be
nice if someone could test it.

If the fading is too irregular, calls to usleep could be incorporated
just like in the current patch.

Regards,
