I have try this:

def create_empty_cursor(window):
   pix_data = """#define invisible_cursor_width 0
#define invisible_cursor_height 0
#define invisible_cursor_x_hot 0
#define invisible_cursor_y_hot 0
static unsigned short invisible_cursor_bits[] = {};"""

   color = gtk.gdk.Color()
   pix = gtk.gdk.bitmap_create_from_data(window, pix_data, 1, 1)
   return gtk.gdk.Cursor(pix, pix, color, color, 0, 0)

The problem is that I still get a black dot. I want nothing, not event 
that dot. (I have try to set the pix to have size 0x0, but it crashes 
the whole app).

I believe hiding the cursor is a common enough operation - there should 
be some shorcut for doing it. I though that gtkgdk.Cursor *with no 
arguments* is the way to do it. It looks now, it isn't :(

So, how do I hide the cursor?

TIA,
