This works so great! I'm trying to figure out two tweaks, though... the mouse cursor still sits in the middle of the screen, and when midori reloads a url bar appears again at the top of the screen. Any suggestions?

Try to use the unclutter tool which will hide the mouse after a few seconds if it is not moved.

I have the same issue with the url bar, though. Did you find any solution for that?
