Tuomo,
I have a refinement of the request which I think moves this into the
scope of Ion -- I'd like the mouse enabled or disabled based on what
window has focus. In other words, when my "vim" window has focus, I'd
like the rodent to be completely banished. But when I tab over to
Konqueror, I'd like it visible. Right now Ion puts the mouse pointer
in the upper left hand corner of the window when you change focus,
I'd like, for some windows, the option to get rid of it altogether.
Best,
Clark
