I too have this problem - but it only appeared after I added a Windows XP guest to my Linux VMWare host (prior to that I only had a Linux guest and it worked fine). Dunno if that helps.
I did try the solution suggested above (http://nthrbldyblg.blogspot.com/2008/06/vmware-and-fubar-keyboard-effect.html) by krouskop where you add a number of lines to ~.vmware/config and it appears to be working (after restarting the VMWare service).
Thanks guys!
