mouse_hide sets the cursor to a fixed position, but qemu ignores that if the position is the same position it thinks the cursor is already in (a glitch in their translation between absolute corrdinates used by VNC and relatived moves used by hardware). So mouse_hide will not do what we expect if the cursor moved to the middle of the screen by means of software.

Either we explicitly tell the test that we expect the mouse to have moved e.g. by a hardcoded mouse_set 300, 300 - or we generally tweak mouse_hide to do 2 moves. But that has the downside of possibly triggering UI actions in corners. So I suggest to do something special in special cases
