There are two separate things here which are enabled by usbtablet in 1.0. First is the mouse cursor which is the same on guest and on host with usbtablet, which was the case in previous versions too. Second is the automatic keyboard/mouse grabbing while the mouse is under the guest window _and_ the guest has enabled usbtablet device. This is something which was invented in 1.0 and wasn't there before. The idea is: if mouse is being sent to the guest "as is", why not the keyboard too? If you dislike this "coupling", again, patches welcome to introduce a new command-line option for 'autograb'. So far I think the new behavour is much more sane than the one which was in 0.15 and before.
