hide mouse cursor...

[lantian ai]

Hi:
Do it in Window Manager , use Xfixes extension to hide the cursor.

Please refer to matchbox window manager
src/wm.c

void
wm_set_cursor_visibility(Wm *w, Bool visible)
{
#ifdef HAVE_XFIXES
 int major = 0, minor = 0, ev_base, err_base;

 if (XFixesQueryExtension (w->dpy, &ev_base, &err_base))
   XFixesQueryVersion (w->dpy, &major, &minor);

 dbg("Checking Xfixes, got %i.%i , ev (%i), err (%i)",
     major, minor, ev_base, err_base);

 if (major >= 4)
   {
     w->curs = XCreateFontCursor(w->dpy, XC_left_ptr);
     XDefineCursor(w->dpy, w->root, w->curs);

     if (visible)
   {
     w->config->no_cursor = False;
     misc_trap_xerrors();
     /* Appears to fire X error if not already hidden
          * but no way to query that ?
     */
     XFixesShowCursor (w->dpy, w->root);
     XSync(w->dpy, False);
     misc_untrap_xerrors();
   }
     else
   {
     XFixesHideCursor (w->dpy, w->root);
   }
   }
