Found the answer using GIMP-GAP Morph
function. I just morph from a flat back ground to the current picture.
I also cut the fading to ~20 FPS. I double this in the original morph and
use ever other frame for fade in and the remaining every other frame for fade
out (played in reverse order).

Subject: [ASULUG] How To request:
simple fade in animated gifs - GIMP?
Can any one tell me an easy way to make an animated gif that
just fades a picture in and out from a back ground color? I have GIMP,
but I can not figure how to do this without creating each frame of the
animation by hand. Not wanting to spend several hours a frame for 600
frames I thought I would ask the collective minds of F/OSS.
