- This is a release 2.0 commodity to blank the intuition pointer after
- a configurable period of inactivity, similar to the mouse blanking function
- provided by DMouse, QMouse etc. Moving the mouse will cause the pointer
- to automatically reappear. Since intuition's pointer is refreshed when
- opening a new screen, switching from one screen to another etc., the pointer
- is blanked at every mouse blanking interval. For example, if you specify
- a mouse blanking interval of 5 seconds, the pointer will be blanked every
- 5 seconds. The effect of this is that when you open or switch to another
- screen, the mouse pointer will briefly appear for a period of 5 seconds or
- less.
