Disabling mouse pointer when touchscreen attached

Im trying to use XFCE with a USB touchscreen overlay. In GNOME3 the mouse cursor automatically disables when the touchscreen is attached which leads to a nice touch experience, but in XFCE the pointer remains enabled, which makes the touch almost unusable as the cursor jumps to wherever the screen is touched, and so often the touch isnt registered exactly where you intended. Is there a way to manually turn it off?

Im using XFCE 4.8 on Debian Wheezy.

Thanks
