It seems the brokenness extends beyond the mouse - the arrow keys on the
keyboard are not behaving correctly either, although the arrows on the keypad
are working correctly.
Another example: when qemu grabs the input, in the past I've been able to hit
ctrl-alt-delete to send those keys to the guest...this no longer works. I
have to go to the qemu monitor and do a sendkey ctrl-alt-delete
