I've googled and searched and haven't seen this covered elsewhere.
This link http://communities.vmware.com/message/2179157 got the vmware tools compiling and installed for Fedora 18/Workstation 9. However desktop resizing isn't working. Well, really it is working one-way -- if I set the display size in the system settings the Workstation window shrink wraps around it, but if I resize the Workstation window then Fedora's size doesn't change. I'm running the KDE spin if that matters.
Anyone have a clue?
