I've isolated the problem to the command 
xrandr -q

I had it running in a script I had. The script was supposed to check if
my external monitor (21") was plugged into my laptop (15.4") and change
the resolutions if it was plugged/unplugged.

The single command xrandr -q causes twitching. I suppose this is to be
expected from a command of the nature of xrandr, but it seems
unnecessary for a query command to cause a twitch like this.

I guess I'll have to switch my resolutions manually.

I suppose this could be considered a bug in xrandr.
To reproduce run:
while :
do
  xrandr -q
  sleep 2
done

Watch the mouse twitch all the time.

** Summary changed:

- Mouse pointer shifts slightly when idle
+ Mouse pointer shifts slightly with xrandr -q
