I am experiencing the same annoying bug - after upgrading my desktop to Ubuntu 
10.4, my shift-key gets stuck. Since I also replaced my motherboard, GFX card 
and CPU during the upgrade I suspected the hardware, but reinstalling the old 
mainboard and CPU did not fix the problem. The GFX card is the same, though 
(nVidia 9800GT w/ proprietary drivers). I then suspected the keyboard (an old 
cordless logitech with ps/2 connector) and replaced it with a new keyboard 
(also cordless logitech but with USB) - to no avail. 
Switching to the text terminal with <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<1> and back to Xorg with 
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<1>, then pressing the shift key gets the key un-stuck, but having 
to do this every few minutes really breaks the workflow
