Alternatively installing xserver-xorg-input-libinput seems to supercede vmmouse and give me mouse back without uninstalling vmmouse itself. That actually matches my experience with Fedora 23 in the past few days..

Tried to use ubuntu-bug to report this, but since it relies on Firefox (and there's no mouse..) it is frustratingly difficult to achieve. Uninstalling xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse solves the stuck mouse problem but we lose the grab/ungrab functionality.
