Bug Description

Install a lubuntu may 31synced form testdrive gtk. Then end up launching the vm with kvm backend and select install. No cursor will display in the backend I was able to navigate the install keyboard only but no cursor will make it hard for other testers.

Release: 15.04

I expected a mouse cursor to be able to click on things during the install. Instead it laucnhed a qemu window with no mouse cursor. And I completed the install and am finished.
