(Get the code!)
Hello,
I have the same problem.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04
VMware player 3.0.1 build-227600
I have had the problem now twice, so I cannot say much about the regularity.
setxkbmap works.
I am using this configuration for several months. The problem with non-working SHIFT, CTRL and ALT keys occurred only in the last week. The only change in the configuration (except for the usual updates) is: a new keyboard and a new mouse.
I have now a keyboard without a numeric keyboard (to minimize RSI problems, the new keyboard is only 30 cm width instead of 45 cm, so that the right hand is in a better position to hold the mouse).
And the second time I had this problem (I cann't remember about the first one), the virtual PC had crashed, and when started again, it said it could not grab the keyboard. I have had this message before (before and I believe also after the keyboard change), without any consequences for the SHIFT etc. keys.
