I can confirm that problem in the 64 bit Hardy.
Very annoying indeed, since I use VMWare a lot before deploying installations 
to real computers.

At first I were thinking it could be a problem with VMWare itself, since
I installed the latest verion when I migrated to Hardy Heron (VMware-
workstation-6.0.3-80004.x86_64). But after I copied the files from the
earlier version (VMware-workstation-6.0.2-59824.x86_64) and noticed the
same problem (which didn't exist in Gutsy), I realized it was Hardy that
probably had issues.

If I start a virtual computer, the Num and Caps LEDs on the keyboard
doesn't work any more inside that computer. Shift works though. But
switching to the host OS (Hardy), the keyboard is totally screwed up.
Every application you start and try to enter text from the keyboard,
will kill the application. Text Editor, Firefox, Open Word etc. Every
application in focus will get killed when you type anything on the
keyboard.

Brian...
I tested the "setxkbmap" (which was very hard since the terminal gets killed 
every time I type something). Running it, will reset the keyboard and 
everything is back to normal again. The keyboard LEDs on the host is working 
again as well. The keyboard LEDs on the Virtual computer doesn't still though.
