Still a problem as at 19 April 2013 in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with up to date system.

As reported above this is affecting certain (fullscreen?) games (e.g. Lugaru) + XBMC where the mouse continually (and almost instantly) jumps back to the center of the screen (or some other fixed point) whenever you try to move the mouse.

Makes using affected appications impossible: You can't even click on the close/quit button because you cannot get the mouse pointer over the buttons before the pointer snaps back to the center of the screen!

running terminal command: killall unclutter
...immediately solves the issue in all affected programs. However, it's hardly fair to expect novice users to have to do this.

Any chance this bug's "importance" can be bumped up considering it renders certain programs unuseable?
