Mouse integration is very important to Me in VirtualBox, if mouse integration is not enabled You need to pres host key to switch from virtual machine to system.
First when I installed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Linx Pre-Alha mouse integration worked fine.
After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Aplha 1 (clean installation) mouse integration did not worked.
To install mouse integration first You need to install virtualbox guest additions, to install virtualbox guest additions pres host + D.
That will insert CD in virtual machine, enter that CD and run autorun.sh.
When installation is done go to terminal and type:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Paste those lines into your xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "vboxmouse"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection
Restart virtual machine and You're done!

Excellent! Worked perfectly.
Thanks.
I just installed Alpha 3 into VirtualBox 3.1.4 and mouse integration didn't work (or rather it DID, but the cursor was invisible - which I guess was your problem).
Your modification fixed it.
Yes! that was too problem, when You install guest additions and restart it automatically turn on compiz and cursor is invisible :P
