Do you have some sort of auto-update that runs overnight?

Is it out of place for all applications on that screen, or only inside
the VMs?  I've had cases where multiple layers of translation (such as
through VNC and then a VM desktop emulation) would cause the cursor to
track incorrectly.  Usually the VM cursor "runs ahead" of the real X
cursor, moving farther than it should on every gesture; I've never
tracked this down, though I suspect some kind of mouse acceleration
conflict.
