I figured out how to reproduce this error. I run compiz and frequently switch workspaces by doing an Ctrl-Alt-LeftMouse action. This works if I click on the VMware title bar or the vmware menu bar. However, if I accidently click INSIDE the console on the titlebar of a maximized windows application, then POW, my ctrl and alt and other keys are busted. Put more simply, running compiz, hold down ctrl-alt then left click inside the vmware tool on the title bar of a windows application. For me, works every time. I have vmware tools installed.
