I found a workaround for my problem - it was an xmodmap setting that vmplayer didn't handle properly and was trashing. In case it is of interest, I posted the workaround at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard- config/+bug/195982/comments/226.

At the same time, the mouse gets incredibly slow, to a point it becomes unusable. Looking at g-c-c keyboard/mouse, settings/sliders are at usual places. Just touching these settings/sliders slightly is enough to reload usable settings. I can see this behavior in many install of VMware-player 4 series, during PP and now OO cycle. I'm currently using VMware Player 4.0.2 build-591240 on fresh installs of PP.
