Bug Description

Mouse integration is off using virt-manager/viewer/QVC/Spice with Unity8/mir as the guest.

Steps to reproduce;
1. Install in a virt-manager VM with QVC and Spice enabled.
2. Login to Unity7, notice how mouse flows seamlessly between Host and Guest machine.
3. Login to Unity8. Note how you can't bring the mouse to the top of the screen (or the far left usually). Specifically it goes back to the host too quickly.

The box that you can move in does change a bit (AFAICT). Try fullscreen to see.

I used to use QEMU/KVM with -usbdevice tablet, which might be the same thing. If so then we have some significant open bugs in that area already:

I'm guessing this won't be fixed, but if someone does want to work on it feel free to reopen.

Fair point, but Mir is still an active project so I'll reopen that task.
