That's a good catch, Mike.
Questions now are... should the fade-prevention still kick in, if the
mouse pointer is hidden? Should notify-osd unhide the mouse-pointer,
thus overriding another app's decision (would be considered intrusive
behaviour of notify-ods)? Can notify-osd detect a hidden mouse-pointer
at all (afaik, hiding the mouse-pointer is app-specific, read: focused
window)?
I currently cannot answer any of those questions.
Best regards ...
