[Bug 195982] Re: Shift key (and caps lock) stop working when using VMWare

[Jamin W. Collins]

I can confirm Adam Simpkins' assessment of the situation in comment 151.
VMWare is definitely clearing the keyboard map upon focus and failing to
reset it if you can move the mouse out of the window with CTRL held
down.  I can reproduce this 100% of the time.

Ubuntu 8.04.1 (fully updated)
VMWare Player 2.0.5 build-109488
Gnome Desktop
Lenovo Thinkpad T61p
Nvidia proprietary drivers (package version 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.45)
Guest OS - Windows XP Pro SP3 (with VMWare Tools)
