Download and build the 'unclutter' program from <http://ftp.x.org/contrib/utilities/>, then arrange to run it in the "Information Display" session. 'unclutter' will hide the mouse cursor if the cursor remains stationary over an application window for a certain period: 5 seconds by default, overridable on the command line. (Actually that time is the sample interval, so a stationary cursor will disappear at some time between 5 and 10 seconds.) If you also want the cursor to disappear when it's stationary on the root window (the desktop background) then add the '-root' option on the command line.
