X always must have a cursor

ok so i have to raise this question: WHY ? :)

i am running a project of touch screens, and really hate to use 
windows... so linux xorg it is, but
the bottom line is, after reading for 2 days straight, there are ways to 
make cursor invisible, or move it out of the sight, or use clutter and 
so on, but all these options are lack of one thing - it is invisible - 
but it is usable, meaning on touch screen one can drag finger across the 
screen and highlight a lot of things on it, which is not user friendly.


so seriously, why is it that xorg *must* have it ? just need to 
understand the concept here.... is it just because ? or is it nobody 
ever need it? or does this mean entire xorg idea need to be re written 
to meet this ?



thanks guys.
