Mouse issues with Dual Head setup

[James Shewey]

I have a dual head setup on Kubuntu 9.04 (which means I am using 1.6) and I
can't seem to type on the second head. I have KDE running on 1 screen, but
am not running a window manager on the other screen - Only a virtualbox VM.
I CAN move my mouse between screens and manage windows using it, however, I
cannot get keyboard input to switch to this screen. It just keeps typing in
the last selected window on display :0.0. Is I am running the following
script at startup:

jshewey at jimmylinux:~$ cat /home/jshewey/.kde/Autostart/compiz
#!/bin/bash

compiz.real --replace --ignore-desktop-hints --only-current-screen &
DISPLAY=":0.1" VBoxManage startvm 'Windows XP' -type gui

I did however try disabling compiz on both monitors to make sure this wasn't
influencing the situation and found that I still could not type in the VM. I
also tried starting an xterm window on display :0.1 using the command
DISPLAY=":0.1" xterm and still cound not type on that monitor, so the issue
is not specific to the VM.

This is my current xorg.conf file:
