When I encountered this problem, I was launching Synergy as root from GDM. Since I stopped this practice, launching both synergys and synergyc using Gnome's session manager (which runs as the user, after X and XKB load fully and set the proper keysets), I haven't encountered this issue even once.
...actually, I have to take it all back.

(Synergy server: Ubuntu Karmic
Synergy client(s): Ubuntu Lucid, WinXP)
Also, I'm using Synergy+ 1.3.5 on every box in this configuration.
