Is there a way to let the mouse pointer disappear after a few seconds of not using the mouse und let it reappear again, when the mouse is beeing used?

There is a program called unclutter that does this. I've never used it though.

There is also hhp in http://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-utils

Also, some applications also blank the pointer on keyboard input (or a delay): ! in ~/.Xdefaults, works for urxvt (rxvt-unicode) at least *pointerBlank: true -- Adam
