Oh for my above problem that is still showing I do have both xserver-
common and xserver-xorg-core from pitti's sru-test ppa.

My vmware setup might be slightly different than others in that I
upgraded today from fully up to date Karmic 64bit to Lucid 64bit using
update-manager -d. After rebooting I no longer had keyboard access at
gdm and found this bug report.

My /etc/default/console-setup has:

XKBMODEL="SKIP"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT="U.S. English"
XKBOPTIONS=""

At GDM where it doesn't work (from the command line check) it shows up
as:

_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "U.S. English", ""

In Gnome where it does work it shows up as:

_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "us", "", ""

It also appears the virtual keyboard is very fragile and crashes after
trying to turn it on and off, maybe related to 526791, but I am using
VMware 7.0.1 on a ThinkPad X200 not a Macbook.
