I used unclutter for years and loved it, but some of the newer desktop programs get really weirded out when your cursor disappears. They start flapping around with focus and all kinds of nutty things. I finally had to give unclutter up :-/. Too bad, because I really miss having my mouse pointer out of the way.

I noticed this exact thing too. When I switched from my newly System 7 Mac (where ObscureCursor() is used by every application since day 1) I found unclutter a godsend. I lament that it doesn't work nowadays.

This seems like something the toolkit (GTK or Qt) should handle. Or freedesktop.org!
