I wondered what's more current - Matchbox manual or 1.2 announcement which mentioned that cursor hiding finally should work. Here's manual sources: http://svn.o-hand.com/view/matchbox/trunk/matchbox-documentation/manual/ Here's announcement and changelog: http://matchbox-project.org/?p=14#more-14 http://svn.o-hand.com/view/matchbox/trunk/matchbox-window-manager/ChangeLog?rev=1483&view=auto All in all, we should decide what to do - fiddle with Matchbox trying to make its cursor disabling work, or just use the transparent theme which is of course known to work. >> -use_cursor <yes|now> >> >> If enabled, an attempt is made to hide the mouse cursor completely. >> This can be overridden by applications such as xterms. >> >> Warning >> This option will likely be depreciated in future releases, as it does >> not provide a 100% solution.
