Although I tried things like jaws key + number row 3 to pass Ctrl + G to the 
VMWare player without jaws catching it, that didn't really work too well, 
since it seemed to stop jaws etc. from getting real control of the keyboard 
back after exiting VMWare, but one thing I have found is that instead of 
hitting Ctrl + Alt + delete to shutdown vinux, which seemed to also bring up 
windows task manager, but without really passing keyboard command back to 
windows, if you use left Alt + F1 to bring up the gnome menu, but then right 
arrow on a menu item - not a submenu item, there are two other menu 
structures, one for places, and one called system, which has items for 
things like networking, hardware etc., and also one for shutdown, and this 
then brings up a dialogue telling you it'll shut down in around 60 seconds, 
so you can then hit Ctrl + Alt to get keyboard control back to windows, but 
you then still have to hit Ctrl and Alt a few times to unlock them as far as 
windows and jaws are concerned, but it's better.

Stay well
