Comment 65 for bug 195982

Also have this problem on VMWare Player 2.0.3 and VMWare Workstation 6.0.3. Running Hardy x86_64, with 6GB of RAM.

Curiously, setxkbmap does not help here.

Another strange thing is that a test application of mine *does* report the keys when they are pressed down, which means X responds to these. I don't know what this signifies. The application is freely available on http://www.opentk.com for anyone interested (run Examples->Input Test, requires Mono)
