Hi Sjoerd,

'-idle 1' lets the cursor disappear after 1 second.
'-keystroke' lets the cursor disappear after pressing a key.
So these two options contradict each other, and give unpredictable
results.  I would use only one of the two.

Thanks, that did the trick. I didn't realize that -idle && -keystroke were mutual exclusive.
I've only set -idle 1 now, and that works fine.
 


BTW, instead of putting the script into ~/.kde/Autostart, you could add
the 2 lines to /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, or, for one user, create the file
~/.xinitrc and put it there.  It will work in every DE and WM then, not
just KDE.

Thanks again. I'll remember this. But for the moment, ~/.kde/Autostart works fine for me.


BTW: what's the first line "#!/bin/bash" in the script for?


Greetings, Manon.
