I don't know how to kill it, and short of omitting the mouse driver from the
drivers loaded at boot time -- frankly not a good idea, it seems to me -- I'm
not sure if it's possible.  But why bother doing such surgery??  If you move
the mouse so that the arrow is as far as it gets to the bottom right of the
screen the arrow will only occupy 1 pixel or so.  I don't think you'll be too
distracted by that one pixel.

Before I started using more than one shell window without ua I never used the
mouse, and also found the arrow distracting; when I started parking it in the
corner of the screen I never noticed it.
