-;;; For those who are annoyed by the mouse pointer obscuring text,
-;;; this mode moves the mouse pointer - either just a little out of
-;;; the way, or all the way to the corner of the frame.
-;;; To use, load or evaluate this file and type M-x mouse-avoidance-mode .
-;;; To set up permanently, put this file on your load-path and put the
-;;; following in your .emacs:
-;;;
-;;; (cond (window-system
-;;; (require 'avoid)
-;;; (mouse-avoidance-mode 'animate)))
-;;;
-;;; The 'animate can be 'jump or 'banish or 'exile or 'protean if you prefer.
-;;; See the documentation for function `mouse-avoidance-mode' for
-;;; details of the different modes.
-;;;
-;;; For added silliness, make the animatee animate...
-;;; put something similar to the following into your .emacs:
-;;;
-;;; (cond (window-system
-;;; (setq x-pointer-shape
-;;; (eval (nth (random 4)
-;;; '(x-pointer-man x-pointer-spider
-;;; x-pointer-gobbler x-pointer-gumby))))
-;;; (set-mouse-color (cdr (assoc 'mouse-color (frame-parameters))))))
-;;;
-;;; For completely random pointer shape, replace the setq above with:
-;;; (setq x-pointer-shape (mouse-avoidance-random-shape))
-;;;
-;;; Bugs / Warnings / To-Do:
-;;;
-;;; - Using this code does slow emacs down. "banish" mode shouldn't
-;;; ever be too bad though, and on my workstation even "animate" doesn't
-;;; seem to have a noticable effect during editing.
-;;;
-;;; - It should find out where any overlapping frames are and avoid them,
-;;; rather than always raising the frame.
