Currently in outland for sun, dec, rs6k, vax, and rt (yeah, I said
`rt'. Remember those? :-) is `unclutter', a cursor blanker for X.
This version fixes some of the problems that existedin the previous
version. From the manpage:
NAME
unclutter - remove idle cursor image from screen
SYNOPSIS
unclutter [-display|-d display] [-idle seconds] [-jitter pixels] [-grab]
[-noevents] [-reset] [-root] [-onescreen] [-not] name ...
DESCRIPTION
unclutter removes the cursor image from the screen so that it does not
obstruct the area you are looking at after it has not moved for a given
time. It does not do this if the cursor is in the root window or a but-
ton is down. It tries to ignore jitter (small movements due to noise)
if you have a mouse that twitches.
