Hi,

   As a clarification, I guess I should have mentioned that I use the
   arrow keys, rather than the mouse, for navigation of the windowlist.
   Hence my wish not to have a cursor cluttering things up.

   Since these considerations actually apply more generally,
   to all menus in fact, perhaps a more appropriate suggestion
   would be the option:

      MenuStyle <menuname> NoCursor

   or perhaps (not such a nice solution):

      CursorStyle MENU -1

   where -1 denotes "no cursor".
