     1.4 +unclutter is a program which runs permanently in the background of an X11
     1.5 +session. It checks on the X11 pointer (cursor) position every few seconds, and
     1.6 +when it finds it has not moved (and no buttons are pressed on the mouse, and
     1.7 +the cursor is not in the root window) it creates a small sub-window as a child
     1.8 +of the window the cursor is in. The new window installs a cursor of size 1x1
     1.9 +but a mask of all 0, ie an invisible cursor. This allows you to see all the
    1.10 +text in an xterm or xedit, for example. The human factors crowd would agree it
    1.11 +should make things less distracting.
    1.12 +
    1.13 +Once created, the program waits for the pointer to leave the window and then
    1.14 +destroys it, restoring the original situation. Button events are passed
    1.15 +transparently through to the parent window. They will usually cause the cursor
    1.16 +to reappear because an active grab will be made by the program while the button
    1.17 +is down, so the pointer will apparently leave the window, even though its x y
    1.18 +position doesnt change.
    1.19 +
    1.20 +The first version of this program used a grab to remove the cursor.
    1.21 +This method is still available with a "-grab" option to the program.
