Same problem for me with VBOX 1.3.6 and Ubuntu Edgy as Host and Feisty Fawn as Guest.
With this condition to reproduce: closing the vm with "state saved". If i restart the vm, i see the cursor of the mouse in the window but I can't move it.... It happen's often but not always.

Host is Ubuntu 6.10, Guest is PCLinuxOS2007TR2. Guest additions 1.3.6 are installed. Problem with mouse started after installing guest additions. Safe settings options in in startup menu on Guest.

I did a test installation (PCLinuxOS) to see what was going wrong. The problem was the line
InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents"
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If you comment that line out and restart the X server (log out and log back in), it should work fine.
This probably does not apply to the Feisty problem. (But try Alt-Tab if the mouse stops reacting in a Ubuntu guest).

Thanks Michael. Mouse problem is solved. I commented out the line in the ServerLayout section of the PClinuxOS Guest system.
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout1" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
# InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents"
Screen "screen1"
EndSection

I will close this bug. Please open a separate one for the Feisty issue.
What host and guest combination? To me, it sounds like a mouse setup problem in the guest - try using the guest additions or configuring the guest to use a PS/2 mouse. Was the Linux-Safe settings option in the guest?
