Random thoughts: scripts in $KDEDIR/shutdown (and I guess ~/.kde/shutdown,
though I didn't check) are run at logout by KDE. If there's some way of
telling vmware to save sessions from a script, then you could just put an
appropriate script there.
Alternatively, if you're using a keyboard shortcut to log out, make the
shortcut point to a script that does something like:
*Check if vmware is running.
* If so, display a dialog (kdialog "VMWare still running"), and don't log
out.
* If not, use "dcop kdesktop default logout" to logout.
You could even have a desktop icon or a button on your taskbar to do that,
though I don't know of a way to override the behaviour of the logout item
in the K menu.
