Its also in the options?
At least its in the switches.

--fade Use fade effects
-f --nofade No fade effects

... I know that Windows people arent used to looking at the command switches but it is a linux-created game so I tend to look there first.
As a *nix and Windoze programmer, I am used to looking at the command line switches. Unfortunately, I'm also used to those switches not doing anything - which is exactly what "-f", "--nofade", "-nofade", and "-f --nofade" all do, at least on the Windoze version.

Similarly, hitting "Esc" is still a PITA, because on Windoze it doesn't accept the keypress until _after_ it's already zooming / fading in : during the 1.5 - 2 seconds of blackscreen, Escape does nothing.
