Once you have built your VM, start it up and install VMware Tools. There's a button to do that which works unattended in a Windows guest, but requires a bit of handholding in a Linux guest. There's documentation at vmware.com.
Thanks, I've got the Tools installed, and everything is running fine. In fact, it runs too fine- I better not let the wife see this because she just might want to use it! Thanks, everybody, for all the help, the patience, and the will to explain. It's been quiet a while since I've needed this level of handholding, and I really thought that I was past that point. But that's one of the reasons that I love linux- it forces me to learn, and to be sharp on my toes. And when I do find myself stuck- there's a wonderful community out there willing to help.
