[orca-list] Issue with shift, alt and control

[bart ursys com au (Bart Bunting)]

Just to follow up on my own post.

Further research suggests that the culprit is vmware.

The suggested workaround is to run setxkbmap in a terminal.

Haven't had the problem happen again but if I do I'll try this.

Getting the terminal to start may be a problem though :).
