Not sure, but I thought that Xorg has it build in -- just press
alt+ctrl+numlock (or something like that) and you can use your numpad
to move the mouse. shift+key moves in smaller increments, ctrl+key move
in larger, there is even "button lock" for drag and drop...

Can't test it right now to recall the key combination and see if it's
not disabled in xubuntu though :(
