Yep, we are using a 'invisible cursor theme' for Gtk, it is used instead
of X defaults. You can remove link, or if you want to use own
cursorimage instead of invisible one you can simply copy it to
'/usr/share/icons/xcursor-transparent/cursors/transp'.

The reason for using this theme is that cursor icon is used for tap&hold
animation, therefore we actually still have cursor (would be also
possible to hide completely from X server by disabling driver funcs
implementing that).
