Version of VBox?
On some occasions you need to install the GA a few times over.

I'm having the exact issue. When I uninstalled guest additions, I get my mouse pointer back but I'm unable to switch out the guest OS by hitting the host key. I reinstalled guest additions and the issue returns.

You could try VBox 2.2.4 or an older GA version like 2.08

Re: Can't see mouse pointer and host key not responding
It turns out it was my USB Device filters I had setup for the guest, I removed the one I had set for my Microsoft keyboard and mouse. That resolved the issue.

I upgraded to VBox 2.2.4 and my cursor is visible and I can switch from Vbox to Ubuntu easely. I cannot give more reason on the succeed of the solution.
