If this problem was known in 8.10 why wasn’t it fixed in 9.04. I have the additional problem of all full screen VM’s jumping to the active desktop and stay where they are opened.

I ran into the same issue using the VMware Server 2.0 remote console from Ubuntu. Turns out in Ubuntu the ins key is mapped to the numberpad del key! ctrl+alt+{numperpad}del worked in a Windows VM for me. http://vmetc.com/2009/01/30/ubuntu-send-ctrlaltdel-command-to-vmware-server-vm/
