On a fresh GNOME installation inside VMWare Player clipboard sharing and
automatic screen resizing don't work. They used to work in the exact same setup
with OpenSuSE 11.3. Looks like vmtoolsd is running but when I attempt to
restart it I get this:
# /etc/init.d/vmtoolsd restart
Shutting down vmtoolsd killproc: cannot stat /usr/bin/vmware-user: No such file
or directory
FATAL: Module vmmemctl not found.

Starting vmtoolsd FATAL: Module vmmemctl not found.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install OpenSuSE 11.4 inside VMWare Player
2. Try to copy some text from the VM and paste it in the host machine
3. Or try to resize the VMWare Player window
Actual Results:  
Clipboard sharing doesn't work
Automatic screen resizing doesn't work

Expected Results:  
Clipboard sharing has to work both ways.
When the VMWare Player window is resized the VM screen has to be resized
accordingly.
