Don't worry, there's work in progress.  Should be here before 1.0 is 
released.  (Really, there's been work on it.  The 1.0 is just a promise 
I'm sure we'll keep, though it's probably very conservative.)

Hmmm, yeah, perhaps someone should add a setting:

Hide Mouse Cursor in MythTV
Toggles mouse cursor visibility. Most of the MythTV GUI does not respond 
to mouse clicks. Use this option to avoid "losing" your mouse cursor.

to the Appearance section of mythfrontend settings...
