""For VMWare Server the workaround described at http://nthrbldyblg.blogspot.com/2008/06/vmware-and-fubar-keyboard-effect.html should be applied to /usr/lib/vmware/config."
This worked for me by the way and fixes it. The setxkbmap trick did not work. It did fix my SHIFT and CTRL meta's but it did not resolve my ALT key."

Tried that on VMWare Workstation 6.0.4 build-93057, but didn't work.
Caps Lock and and other key are still screwed up. Everytime I leave
VMWare, I have to run "etxkbmap" in order to make the keyboard "normal"
again.
