It depends on how your OS is set up. On Red Hat you can create a new
session in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions that just runs your app directly
instead of gnome-session etc.

Basically you call gdk_window_set_cursor (GDK_ROOT_PARENT (), cursor)
after creating the 1x1 empty cursor; someone out there must have
example code for this, I've seen it several times but can't remember
where.
