I think both camps might be satisfied with a cross-dissolve: if the new 
display faded in as the old one fades out, it would be nice visually 
and prevent a long period of time with competing translucency. Instead 
of the regular transition (i.e. the "sliding" in Titivillus"), just 
ramp down the alpha of the old OSD and ramp up the alpha of the 
replacing OSD over about half a second.

Of course, I've no idea how easy it is to implement, but I'd prefer to 
see that sort of transition instead of either the current or the 
previous code.
