I experience this problem almost daily. It sure has something to do with VMWare Tools, but I don't want it disabled, so I have been using the setxkbmap workaround. Keyboard input does cause many applications to segfault on that situation, but luckily not including Konsole.
In addition to 'setxkbmap' I have to use the following command: 'xmodmap /usr/share/apps/kxkb/ubuntu.xmodmap' to enable the multimedia keys on my Dell laptop.
