My FreeNX setup handles the Gnome fade-out just fine; perhaps it's the 
higher-bandwidth link. I can see how it would be annoying, however.

In Gnome 2.10.0 on Fedora Core 4, under Desktop, Preferences, More 
Preferences, Sessions, uncheck "Ask on Logout". You won't get the "log 
out or shut down" prompt, but you won't get the fade-out either. You may 
also want to uncheck "show splash screen".
