I've tested it briefly with BL 3.50 and it appears
to work fine.

unclutter removes the cursor image from the screen 
so that it does not obstruct the area you are looking 
at after it has not moved for a given time. It does 
not do this if the cursor is in the root window or 
a button is down.  It tries to ignore jitter if you 
have a mouse that twitches. 

OPTIONS

-display
          is followed by the display to open. 

-idle
          is followed by the number of seconds between 
          polls for idleness. The default is 5. 

-keystroke
          tells unclutter not to use a timeout to determine 
          when to remove the cursor, but to instead wait 
          until a key has been pressed (released, really). 

-jitter
          is followed by the amount of movement of the 
          pointer that is to be ignored and considered 
          as random noise. The default is 0. 

-grab
          means use the original method of grabbing the 
          pointer in order to remove the cursor. This 
          often doesn't interoperate too well with some 
          window managers. 

-noevents
          stops unclutter sending a pseudo EnterNotify 
          event to the X client whose cursor has been 
          stolen. Sending the event helps programs like 
          emacs think that they have not lost the pointer 
          focus. This option is provided for backwards 
          compatibility in case some clients get upset. 

-reset
          resets the timeout for idleness after the cursor 
          is restored for some reason (such as a window 
          being pushed or popped) even though the x y 
          coordinates of the cursor have not changed. 
          Normally, the cursor would immediately be 
          removed again. 

-root
          means remove the cursor even if it is on the 
          root background, where in principle it should 
          not be obscuring anything useful. 

-onescreen
          restricts unclutter to the single screen 
          specified as display, or the default screen 
          for the display. Normally, unclutter will 
          unclutter all the screens on a display. 

-not
          is followed by a list of window names where 
          the cursor should not be removed.  The first 
          few characters of the WM_NAME property on the 
          window need to match one the listed names. 
          This argument must be the last on the command 
          line. 

-notname
          is exactly the same as -not 

-notclass
          is similar to -notname, except that the WM_CLASS 
          property of the window is used.  This argument 
          must be the last on the command line, and so 
          cannot be used with -not or -notname. 

-regex
          treats the first name or class (see above) as a 
          regular expression.  This means that  
                -regex -not foo bar  
          will not work as expected; instead use 
                -regex -not 'foo|bar'  

LIMITATIONS

The -keystroke option may not work (that is, the cursor 
will not disappear) with clients that request KeyRelease 
events. Games and Xt applications using KeyUp in their 
translation tables are most likely to suffer from this
problem. 

The -keystroke option does not distinguish modifier keys 
from keys which actually generate characters.
