It appears that the xinput devices(keyboard/mouse) are being hijacked by
desktop?  As long as there is user input(keyboard/mouse activity) at
least once second within Sauerbraten, everything works as expected in
Ubuntu 18.10.  Further bug info: I noticed that if you're moving forward
with the 'w' key(with no mouse activity), and jump(press 'spacebar')
while keeping the 'w' key pressed, the bug returns about a second later.
The forward movement stops and the rogue mouse pointer returns to
flickering, as if there is no user activity, or as if the user input
activity has been cleared/reset.  ***If you _don't_ jump while moving
forward, the forward movement continues as expected and the rogue mouse
pointer stays away.  When there is no user input/activity for about 1
second, the flickering mouse pointer returns.  Again, everything works
as expected in Ubuntu 18.04.  Thanks!

PS. Sorting straces of Sauerbraten seem show a similar number of epoll
calls as flickers of the rogue mouse pointer, but that was a hack at
trouble-shooting and may be unrelated.  Thank again!
