+unclutter-xfixes (x11 tool for removing mouse clutter from the screen)
+
+Hides the mouse pointer when the mouse isn't moving.
+
+This is a rewrite of the popular tool unclutter, but using the x11-xfixes
+extension. This means that this rewrite doesn't use fake windows or
+pointer grabbing and hence causes less problems with window managers
+and/or applications.
+
+Notes:
+
+- The binary is called unclutter, not unclutter-xfixes.
+
+- This build conflicts with the regular unclutter build. Only one should
+ be installed, either unclutter or unclutter-xfixes.
+
+- The usual way to start unclutter is from ~/.xinitrc.
+
+- The options are different (--timeout and --jitter, not -idle and
+ -jitter), make sure you read the man page.
