You probably have a different version of unclutter. In the past, there was some change of the method it uses to hide the pointer. his may well play a role here. Can you find out which version you have? I guess it's something that should be fixed in unclutter if it's still an issue with the latest version. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt
