Does anyone know how I would go about hidding the mouse cursor on a per-user basis? I'm developing an embedded application and I have a user account that I want to use in a kiosk mode with no mouse.

Any input would be appreciated :)

You can replace the cursor.pcf file with a null cursor, which basically just replaces the mouse cursor bitmaps with transparent ones.  I don't have a link at the moment, but you can probably find a blank cursor.pcf through google.com/linux.

I think it should work, though i haven't tried it.
