After upgrading libvirt from 1.0.5.4 to 1.1.0-r3 I didn't see mouse cursor in Win7 guest anymore. Mouse works, I can point and click things, but mouse cursor is invisible. Also I noticed another minor issue - while switching from Windows "welcome" screen to desktop with 1.1.0-r3 I see how screen contents change (diagonal line of blocks move on screen changing picture) but on 1.0.5.4 welcome screen replaced by desktop instantly, without any intermediate effects.

Upgrade to libvirt-1.1.1, and I bet the problem will go away.
If you confirm this, we should probably get 1.1.1-r1 stable to replace 1.1.0-r3. The fix required a git submodule update and therefore we can't easily roll a patchset for 1.1.0.

I have the same problem with the missing mouse cursor, it appears the problem is this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=986384 Its not a libvirt bug per se, its actually a bug in qemu, but a workaround for libvirt is avaiable and has been applied upstream: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=e3f2686bdf6c94f658d8645c32a6039692753411 . It is already in libvirt-1.1.1 I've tested both without QXL in the 1.1.0 and with QXL in 1.1.1 (I didn't have the dependency conflict issue) and in both the mosue pointer has returned.

Thanks for confirming and filling in the details. I should have provided more info but you are correct above the issue and the fix. I'll try to backport the fix to qemu-1.5.3 as well.
