[solved] GTK apps - hide cursor while typing?

I really like how qt apps will hide the cursor while typing (often when you click an input field and start typing the cursor will end up over the text I am entering), however, GTK apps don't seem to do this.  I've done some googling on the issue, and the only solution I can seem to find is a program called unclutter, however I don't like this solution as I find it annoying (not sure why, it just bugs me) to have the cursor disappear all the time when I'm not moving the mouse.  Does anyone know of a GTK app or plugin that will emulate this qt functionality?  Thanks!
