FWIW I had an immediate dislike for unclutter and simply uninstalled it. I hope it ends up an opt-in rather than default.
Had it only hidden the cursor when it was annoying (such as when it was obscuring typing in an edit control) I likely would not have even noticed it and felt better about the usability of the system. I understand doing that right would be MUCH more difficult. A netbook UI (with physical keyboard and mouse) is not a smartphone / tablet with touch. Maybe OSs that wants to run on both need a large switch to change modes (with a nice kerchunk sound :) 2010/7/2 Kristoffer Lundén <kristoffer.lun...@gmail.com> > 2010/7/2 Lance <lbsol...@yahoo.com> > > I would add that my first annoyance with this behavior is that I often use >> the mouse pointer to "point out" something in a screenshot.
