XFixes was the way to go. I was worried that the package wasn't on
the system and I didn't feel like putting it there. Luckily it was
included and all I had to do was patch matchbox. Attached is the diff
file if anyone wants to patch theirs.
I patched matchbox-remote to accept another option and the wm to
detect the event that is sent to X. To change the cursor visibility
on the fly:
Hide the cursor: matchbox-remote -h
Show the cursor: matchbox-remote -s
Thanks,
