+@defvar home-unclutter-service-type
+This is the service type for Unclutter, a program that runs on the
+background of an X11 session and detects when the X pointer hasn't moved
+for a specified idle timeout, after which it hides the cursor so that
+you can focus on the text underneath. Its associated value must be a
+@code{home-unclutter-configuration} record, as shown below.
+
+A typical configuration, where we manually specify the idle timeout (in
+seconds), might look like this:
+
+@lisp
+(service home-unclutter-service-type
+ (home-unclutter-configuration
+ (idle-timeout 2)))
+@end lisp
+@end defvar
+
+@deftp {Data Type} home-unclutter-configuration
+The configuration record for @code{home-unclutter-service-type}.

+
+@item @code{idle-timeout} (default: @code{5}) (type: integer)
