You can fake this easily enough.  Write an execute script or shell alias
or something that calls "dmouse -s1" and one that calls "dmouse -s300"
or whatever time you normally use.  Dmouse lets you change parameters
like that on the fly, so all you'd be doing is telling it to change the
blanking time to 1 second, then changing it back.
