The problem is resolved. Actually the release notes have mentioned this:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/sn-Desktop.html#vmmouse-driver
10.10. vmmouse Driver
Due to a bug in the shipping xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse driver, the mouse
position may not be correctly positioned on a virtual machine guest's
display. As a workaround until an update, add Option NoAutoAddDevices
to the ServerFlags section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the guest machine.
Create the section if necessary:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "NoAutoAddDevices"
EndSection
