A real nice version powered by Compiz could be made that fades the pointer.

Why do you want this? I hated it from Windows.

PEOPLE!!

Stop giving -1 to every feature that you wouldn't personally use! Some people would find this useful, and if you don't want it you wouldn't have to enable it.

I have no prob with people wanting this feature, but as stated, I would like to know why it shouldn't be done via compiz.

Not that it shouldn't be done with compiz as one more toy; but considering that the feature is likely to be most useful for those with older display hardware and that compiz has its particular display hardware requirements it seems that if making this feature available for the purpose of usability, it should be available without compiz.

/IR good at grammerz.
