+      Unclutter hides your X mouse cursor when you do not need it, to prevent
+      it from getting in the way. You have only to move the mouse to restore
+      the mouse cursor. Unclutter is very usefull in tiling wm's where you do
+      not need the mouse often.
+
+      Just run it from your .bash_profile like that:
+
+          unclutter -idle 1 &
+    '';
+  };
