I've taken the parts that hides the cursor from "xawtv" and put them
in a stand-alone program to do some experiments. Its just about 50
lines of code. 

The short description is this: You have to install a bitmap cursor
with a plain black pixmap. That will make the cursor transparent.

If anybody is interested in making a patch for mplayer I could mail
him the sources. (I've got it at home so I can't attach it here
right now.)
