  ----------------------------------
  Original bug report:
  
  VMWare Player 3.0.1 build-227600
  Host OS: Windows XP
  Guest OS: Ubuntu 10.04 Beta, Kernel 2.6.32-17-generic
  
  After installing a slew of Ubuntu updates on 3/26/2010 keyboard input at
  the gnome login prompt no longer works.  The mouse does work and I am
  able to use the 'on-screen keyboard' accessibility tool to input my
  password and gain entry.  After logging in, there does not seem to be
  any problems using the keyboard, I experience the problem only at the
  gnome login screen.
  
  I suspected that after updating that possibly some of the vmware drivers
  may not be working correctly, so I ran vmware-config-tools.pl to
  recompile the tools, which didn't work.  I've tried a couple of cycles
  of rebooting the VM and restarting vmware player, which hasn't resolved
  the problem either.
  
  I've attached the portion of the apt history.log showing the packages
  that were applied during the update.
