I'm currently trying out unclutter-xfixes as I'm hitting the various
unclutter bugs.  Although unclutter-xfixes is a drop-in replacement, it
does have some behavioural differences which might make people prefer
the old unclutter.  For example, xtrlock's padlock cursor gets hidden by
unclutter-xfixes but not by old unclutter.

So, I think that maybe unclutter and unclutter-xfixes should be separate
source packages that register with the alternatives system?
