Unfortunately, in my testing it did not work, and didn't work until I had 
specified the -reset option.  Without that, it only works once.

So I have edited my /etc/default/unclutter so the options line now reads 
what made it work here:

EXTRA_OPTS="-idle .1 -reset"

And I'll see if it works by default after the next reboot.  Uptime is now 
9 days and I usually have to reboot at some point after 20+ days.

Thanks Mike.
