I had the same thing happen again -- and couldn't find the reference to Shift-F19 at first. I'm guessing this issue isn't necessarily with VMWare (since I don't have that) but with keyboard remapping. I had re-installed compiz after building it fresh for other reasons, and forgot that it may have introduced Shift-key remapping. Ultimately I found a reference to F19 in the General part of the compiz-configuration-manager app. But I think the issue is just that Shift-[blah] is remapped, and since my computer doesn't know why the hell anyone wants 19 function keys (just kidding, I guess with a Mac it counters just having the one big paw button on the mouse) it probably has in the system "Shift" goes to "whatever." Once I changed F19 to something it recognized, problem solved. It may not help VMWare specifically, but I wanted to write it down so maybe somebody can find the solution via Google. :-)
