I also have run into this issue.

VMWare host: Server2003 running VMWare Server 2.0

Client machine: Formerly Hardy (keyboard mapping not an issue), now
Intrepid running Vmware Console 2.5.0 build-116460

I use a the following command to open the remote session:
/home/<USER>/.mozilla/firefox/o0hml76c.default/extensions/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]/plugins/vmware-vmrc -h "envy:8333" -M "48" -u "<USER>" -p 
"<PASSWORD>" -X

And, as I said, in Hardy this worked fine but in Intrepid it has screwed
up the up, down, delete, home, pg up, pg dn, end, Start, and various
other keys.

Adding the following line to the new file in /home/<USER>/.vmware/config solved 
the problem:
xkeymap.nokeycodeMap = true

I merely restarted the remote session and the mappings were correct.

So 1) THANK YOU for having the answer and 2) Hopefully this extra info
will help someone else with a situation similar to mine.
