There is definitely a problem with the beta2 desktop (gnome) running 
under vmware.   (I had the same problem under beta1)   GDM does not 
accept input from the keyboard in the password box.   I also tried 
switching to another virtual console using ctrl-alt-space [F1 .. F10] 
and that didn't work either (note, ctrl-alt-space F1 is how you send 
ctrl-alt-f1 to a vmware guest).    I also tried disabling vmware tools 
and that didn't help either, so something is broken here.  I even 
upgraded from Vmware 6.5 to 7.0 and that didn't help either.  (vmware is 
running under Fedora 10).
