I can reproduce the bug on a fresh install of Kubuntu Jaunty (latest, all updates).  Happens nearly always when I have a VmWare virtual machine running and perform some action in it, but not if it's running in the background, i.e. no focus and no mouse action in it. Running VmWare Server 2.0.0 Build 122956 with the Vsock patch applied and the keyboard patch so that in the virtual machine, the keys are mapped correctly (xkeymap.noKeycodeMap = "TRUE"
 in /etc/vmware/config). setxkbmap works but have to issue the command every time after I did something in the virtual machine. 

Hope that is of some help. I am quite a newbie here so let me know if
there is anything I can do (like sending reports, which ones and how).
