Not strictly an fvwm question, but there are surely lot of X competent persons on this mailing list, so please forgive (and eventually redirect me to more appropriate places).

Is there a way to define (or emulate via another x application ?) an X cursor which (will run in a fvwm session and) :

 - is rather large (say an ellipse surrounding a word in a typical size
   font)

 - is semi-transparent (say the outline of an ellipse but let shine
   through what is behind the interior)

 - can be forced to override any cursor defined by other applications

My purpose is to present in a videoconf a PDF document and a set of web pages, and being able to highlight parts of it moving the mouse (like a laser pointer in a local presentation). The typical cursors are not that visible after all.

Thanks
