Speaking of cheap and dirty...  You can also just "wiggle" the mouse 
after watching a video.  I wrote a quick little script that does the 
wiggling for me...  And with this method, there's no xterm window 
popping up on your desktop.  See 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/82722#82722

If you use the script, just put " ; /path/to/movemouse" at the end of 
your player command (to run movemouse when the player exits).  The 
little script I mentioned (and tried using for a while) has problems 
with some command line arguments--especially with spaces in 
filenames--so don't use it...
