Comment 32 for bug 195982

Was googling on "shift key stops working" and found this thread. I am seeing the same problem, running VMware Workstation 6.0.3 under the latest Sidux. I'm pretty convinced it has something to do with VMware's automatic keyboard/mouse-grabbing logic when moving the mouse in and out of a VM window, because I only see the problem when running VMware in Quick-Switch or Full UI mode and switching between multiple VMs, as opposed to running the VM full-screen (where you have to Ctrl-Alt to get back to the host). So this is probably worth a bug report to VMware as well.
