Title:
  Mouse Pointer flicker on System settings icons

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm seeing the mouse pointer flickers and disappears when moving the mouse pointer over icons in the main system settings dialog.
  Also the mouse seems to generally flicker in all sorts of places like buttons in all applications.

  Tested this using a Ubuntu 11.10 LiveCD guest with Unity 2D under VirtualBox 4.1.4 (Windows 7 Host) Guest Additions not installed.
  VirtualBox 4.1.4 gives the guest a tablet device instead of a regular mouse before installing the guest additions. this allows VirtualBox to support "mouse pointer integration" before installing the guest additions.
  The bug might be caused by problematic handling of Tablet devices in Ubuntu.
