We've already heard about this spontaneous behavior but it actually 
looks like a tricky bug in the absolute->relative conversion code in the 
VirtualBox sources combined with the fact that for some curious reason 
every single mouse step (mickey) is mapped to exactly one pixel on the 
guest display by the guest mouse driver.

Please see my previous reply to Frans Pop in this thread. The Einstein 
game is not an example here because all parties work with absolute mouse 
coordinates there.
