unclutter:
unclutter: Unclutter is a program which runs permanently in the background of an
unclutter: X11 session. It checks on the X11 pointer (cursor) position every few
unclutter: seconds, and when it finds it has not moved (and no buttons are
unclutter: pressed on the mouse, and the cursor is not in the root window) it
unclutter: creates a small sub-window as a child of the window the cursor is in.
unclutter: The new window installs a cursor of size 1x1 but a mask of all 0, ie
unclutter: an invisible cursor. This allows you to see all the text in an xterm
unclutter: or xedit, for example. The human factors crowd would agree it should
unclutter: make things less distracting.
