VMware should trap ctrl-alt so that you can get out of VMware.

You are installing the VMware tools in your VMs right?

Failing that, I would try and ssh into your Kubuntu box to kill vmware.
 If you don't get your keyboard back, then there is an issue with your
Kubuntu.

I have VMware workstation and vmware server installed on two separate
Kubuntu boxes, I have not seen this issue.
