What's your kernel and VMware versions?
I am using VMware Server 1.0.1 build-29996 together with vmware-any-any-update105.tar.gz. With KDE, I had never experienced the reported problem, but now that I am using XFCE, I get it. Several people have reported the same problem but for older versions of VMware (information provided by Google). Paul
