I have an Intel setup with 64bit Ubuntu. I have an NVIDIA graphics card. When I used compiz, I found that my mouse would follow newly created windows. (e.g, I would bring up terminal and if I hit F1, the mouse would move to the upper right of the screen by itself.)

I have since turned off compiz which resolves the issue.

I was hoping that someone here might give a name to the behavior and point me in the direction where I can turn it off/on.
