Same symptoms here, latest hardy, 2.6.24-16, vmware 1.05 build 80187,
with the any-any-116 patch to get it to compile. HP nx6230 laptop, with
integrated 945GM graphics (i810 driver, with Option AccelMethod XAA).
Built the laptop/OS yesterday and started seeing the symptoms today when
I built the first vm host (windows xp) and started putting MS updates on
it.

Have had it happen several times today, definiately seems to be
something to do with vmware-tools, but not able to reproduce it on
demand no matter how much I try.

Apps that are open at the time largely continue to work, but new apps
die as soon as any key is pressed.

Strangely, alt-f2 (run dialog) does work, so it at least sees 'alt'
being pressed, but as soon as I press a further key, it (and the panels
at the bottom of the screen) die and restart.


Mouse works fine, so I've created a shortcut on the desktop that runs 
setxkbmap, but haven't tested it yet.
