hi,

i have the latest patch level of opensuse 11.0, 32bit installation. i use kde 3.5 desktop. from time to time when administrating a windows vmware server image with vmware server console 1.0.7 it happens that the keyboard does become not fully functional on kde -- all special keys like capslock, shift, control, f-keys do not work on kde. but they do work inside the vm window. currently this is the case. can't type uppercase letters. other users with the same os release but with vmware workstation 6.5 report the same issue occasionally.

any idea what causes this problem [questionmark]

That happens, if vmware's UI crashes (either server console or workstation) - they miss to restore the keyboard state then.
