I have been using a Debian box for widget development at my workplace, and a Vista box virtualized with an Ubuntu m/c image at home. Have keyboard issues with the Ubuntu image (cant get the single/double quote key to work. Notice the cant without an apostrophe? )

Today I loaded the same Ubuntu image on a virtualized XP m/c at my workplace, and installed the WDK. Everything worked fine for a while, but after some time, I noticed strange behaviour with the widget dock. I simply could not get to the snippet view of my widget using the left/right arrow keys. The dock kept locking up and refreshing after I pressed the left/right arrow keys. Tried rebooting the Ubuntu VM, and the XP box without any luck.

Wonder if anyone else has faced a similar situation.
