I have the very same problem on Hardy. I'm using VMware Server 1.0.5 build-80187. The problem is encountered when either I go into full screen or quick switch. setxkbmap works only if I have a open terminal at the time when the bug occurs. Any new applications I open crashes immediately on a key press.
