no cursor with kvm vm and cirrus emulator graphics card backend

[Lyn Perrine]

To reproduce install lubuntu 405 daily iso in a kvm vm and then boot and login in lightdm. There will be no installed cursor when you get in but the mouse will highlight ui elements if you move over them but the cursor is invisible in this vm.

Switching the graphics backend to vmvga makes the cursor reapper.
