For what it's worth, I have the same key repeat problem as
Franzmaximilian. However, I just chalked it up to the usb bluetooth
receiver losing sync with the keyboard.
I don't know what causes the key repeat, but I can reliably reproduce
the 'lost' modifier keys by holding ctrl and moving the mouse out from a
vmware guest's window (running the vmware tools).
As for a workaround: I just do system->prefrences-keyboard then go to
the layouts tab and just go back and forth between 'generic 104 key' and
'generic 105 key' layouts whenever I trigger the bug. (using only the
mouse)
Here is some information on the OS, vmware version, and lsusb output for
the bluetooth receiver
