I've looked into it a bit, but could not reproduce under this
configuration:

VMware Player version 3.0.1 build-227600
Host is 64-bit Lucid system up to date as of today
Guest is 64-bit Lucid system up to date as of today

Tried both with and without VMware Tools installed.
VMware Tools version 8.1.4-227600 downloaded today.

No keyboard issues at all in the gdm login screen.

I note however that this is using a Ubuntu host, whereas from
reading the original report and previous comments, it seems the
problem is exhibited on OS X and Windows hosts.

I don't have access to either OS X or Windows, so someone else will
have to test.
