We build digital signage players that play movies, html pages, images 
and text.
These players have no mouse or keyboard and the cursor is a visual wart.

In our product we embed apps that it is far to painful to modify to turn 
off the cursor.
For example mozilla (mozembed). The -nocursor patch avoids the need to 
modify
any app code at all to remove the unwanted cursors.

We are willing to work up a patch if you are willing to accept it.
