Here's my comments from the thread that etung linked. Can the folks who are reporting keyboard trouble please run these commands, then report the results here on the thread?
We'll have to individually contact each of the vendors who are disabling keyboard input to Fusion.

Sounds like some application has turned on Secure Event Input, which unfortunately disables keyboard input to VMware Fusion when not in Unity mode. Can you try running the following from Terminal:
ioreg -l -w 0 | grep SecureInput
You'll see a line like:
\| "IOConsoleUsers" = ({"kCGSSessionSecureInputPID"=4695, (...)
If you can then run:
ps auxww | grep 4695
where 4695 is the number you see after "kCGSSessionSecureInputPID", it'll tell you what program has enabled Secure Event Input.
If you could let us know which process has done this (and not disabled Secure Event Input when it was done), we can contact the software provider to let them know they're breaking Fusion.
Thanks for your patience!
