Hi,

I've just noticed a possible security flaw. If one goes fullscreen with
vmware workstation/server, so that the mentioned problem occurs, and
then locks the computer (Lock screen), the lock screen app crashes as
soon, as one tries to type in a password. The user has now access to the
desktop WITHOUT giving any password. I realize that this is rather
unlikely situation, but for those paranoid security freaks it might be
worth mentioning. Also - is reporting this bug as a security problem
going to speed up the fix? setxkbmap works, but it is still only a
workaround.

Cheers
jacek
