Hi!
I just wanted to share this (already merged) pull request in the labwc repository, which should allow the mouse pointer to be hidden by default with touchscreen devices, making unclutter not needed anymore (and allowing the cursor to be hidden in a better way).

Since Raspberry Pi OS is now using labwc, I expect this update to be automatically added once a new release of labwc is pushed, am I correct?

Here is the pull request: labwc/labwc#2273

Give it a look!

Ooh, that's exciting news! I would love to drop an extra dependency—simplicity means easier setup, easier maintenance, and less code.

Once someone can confirm the new version is present, and works without unclutter, we can rip it out of this project.

I see this change is listed in the labwc 0.8.2 release, so that's the version to look for. Latest for rpi as of this morning is 0.8.1-1+rpt1.

Hi! Where do you find the latest release for the pi? I have no access to a pi right now, but I suppose there should be a repository for it somewhere(?)

I think this is the quickest way to answer your question:

pi@kioskpi:~ $ apt policy labwc
labwc:
  Installed: 0.8.1-1+rpt1
  Candidate: 0.8.1-1+rpt1
  Version table:
 *** 0.8.1-1+rpt1 500
        500 http://archive.raspberrypi.com/debian bookworm/main arm64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Hi,

For the inpatients, this guide has the instructions on how to compile 8.2 for raspberry pi.

It works as advertised. Note the cursor is displayed at first but gets removed after the first touch event.

Edit: 8.2 and touch behaviour is very strange... Makes my project pretty much unusable. Seems to be the same with 0.8.1-1+rpt3
