I confirm. BTW, this is probably a bad idea to start it automatically because a normal user cannot override such a setting. Alternatively, if /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90unclutter could check the user's default options, this would allow the user to disable unclutter. > However, I haven't discovered a useful configuration myself > (jessie, X, fvwm).

As I've chosen fixed-width tabs, I don't have this problem. But there's another one, still with Iceweasel: tooltips disappear as soon as the mouse pointer disappears. > But it's worse than just that.

Normally, when I want to click a button, I need to move the mouse first, so that the mouse pointer is visible during this time anyway. > Adding -keystroke (± removing -idle) appears to make unclutter > impotent...so I uninstalled it. The bug was reported 5 years ago: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=597402 (and 9 years ago in Ubuntu). > After all, xterm and mplayer do uncluttering themselves anyway. Emacs can do that too, but only for self-inserting characters. That's OK in most common cases. But I would really need this for Iceweasel. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
