I'm using Ubuntu, Yakuake, and VMWare Server 2. I've left Yakuake with the default F12 hotkey, and it's worked perfectly for months. I recently started using VMWare Server 2 to run a couple of Ubuntu VMs, and sometimes, after starting one of those VMs and working with it, the F12 key stops working to drop down the Yakuake console.
Currently, the F12 key doesn't do anything in my browser. If I'm in Emacs I get a notification that: "<f12> is undefined", and in terminals it inputs a tilde (~). I've not been able to recover the Yakuake functionality without restarting the machine.
