Perhaps you could define your own mouse cursor which uses a pixmap with no
bits in it.  That is, use XCreatePixmapCursor with a source and mask bitmap
with zeros in them.  When you associate the cursor with a window, this will
effectively hide the mouse for that window until you change the cursor to
something else.
