Using konsole on KDE, I see the mouse cursor disappear after a few
seconds while the cursor stays in the konsole's window and isn't
moved. Is something similar available within Emacs? I've searched
for the word `disappear' but got nothing.
It might be a useful addition to the `mouse-avoidance-mode' IMHO --
and no, I can't code this myself due to lack of time :-)

I don't think you can do this now from the Lisp level. In C you create a
cursor with a 1x1 pixel bitmap with the mask set to 0 (see
XCreatePixmapCursor) and then install that cursor in the window in question.
Then you also have to restore the old cursor when the mouse moves.

Thanks for the information. Maybe this can be put into a `ideas after
the next release' file.

No, but you can achieve the same result with the ``unclutter'' program.
