Sorry to add another comment before I received your response, but I
think I've found both your problem and a solution.

If the your mouse flickers when scrolling even when you don't use the
mouse wheel, you're probably using an application that tries to set its
own cursor -- for example firefox.  Every time I adjust my firefox
window, it resets the cursor (making it visible), then unclutter hides
the cursor again.

Ideally, firefox would only reset the mouse cursor if the mouse cursor
needed updating, but the design of the X Windows System doesn't make
that easy, so I doubt they'll ever impliment that on Linux.

However, unclutter has a workaround that impliments your Option A above:
the -reset switch.  Can you please try using it, and if it fixes your
problem, please close this bug.

Thanks,

-Dave
