Description
I do use wayfire for kiosk application. While hide-cursor script works well to hide the cursor itself it doesn't change the fact pointer is still there. This causes problems like pointer hovering over the widgets and causing unwanted interactions.
It would be great if there was a way to remove cursor completely from screen.

Research direction
The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the existing hide-cursor behavior and the Wayfire handling of pointer visibility and hover interactions. Done means the pointer is completely absent from the visible screen in kiosk use and no longer triggers unwanted widget interactions.
