8.10 to 9.04 upgrade with VMWare keyboard freaked out

No sorry, but I had a similar freaky problem running VirtualBox (2.1 and
2.2). Every few seconds it was like I pressed the Alt key and the first menu
item in the Guest OS (Windows) popped up, very annoying. Same behaviour
noticed in a rdesktop session connected to a Windows server so it seemed to
be some sort of a 'Ubuntu' problem. Logged out, switched from KDE to a Gnome
session and so far so good. Not realy a solution, but I can work again ;-)

Cheers,
Andre
