Thanks, I'll try that. I'd already tried running unclutter from a
command line (I have my laptop boot to a text login, not using a GUI
login manager) and it wouldn't run since X wasn't running.

Well, that doesn't seem to be working. No, there it goes - and it works 
on my other Debian desktops.

I was using the unclutter option to have it not hide the pointer until a 
keystroke is pressed and released. Their man page mentions it but says 
it might not work. I can confirm that on my set up, that option doesn't 
work!
