New labwc should avoid the need of unclutter #11

Open AlessandroTischer opened 3 hours ago

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: https://github.com/labwc/labwc/pull/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.
