Have you actually tried unclutter with BL3?
If so, what happened?

I've just done some research on this and managed to make
some progress with the default X cursor.  However, as I
understand it, the application sets the cursor image.
For example, if I null the default X cursor, it immediately
reappears as an xterm cursor when I move it into an xterm
(and disappears again when I move it out of the xterm).
So hiding the X cursor is probably not the way to go.

Some slideshow applications automatically hide the cursor
(or have this as an option).  So, the question then arises:
what application are you using to display your pictures?

Cheers,
