i suggest you ask vmware for support.

1. it's a commercial offering that is closed source so we have no idea what it
does.
2. they sell/support the product so it's kind of their job
3. why is it that no other apps (qemu, rdesktop, xephyr etc. tat run virtual
display environments) have a problem, but vmware does? think about it. would it
most likely be something vmware does to modify key mappings or otherwise mess
about and then doesnt restore things? i can't say - i don't have its code. but
e doesn't specially do something different because vmware is there - it doesn't
have special "lets mess with things because we have vmware" code. it sets up a
keymap ONCE on start (or if you reconfigure it). e grabs specific key
combinations (with modifier masks) when it starts. all of these work fine until
vmware runs - then they break. given that e has no code to specifically look at
that does anything special - there is nothing to "debug". e simply sets focus
to an x11 window when focus changes and that's it. my instinct tells me that
it's most likely some evil hackery in vmware to attempt to make your x kbd look
as close to the raw hw kbd as it can by messing with keymaps when it gets
focus, but for whatever reason it doesn't restore things - and it is absolutely
its job to do such a thing.
