I would be quiet interested in this 'bug' report in this case. As I'm quiet 
involved in the packaging of the open-vm-tools, I have a personal
interest of offering them 'bug-free'.

So in short: Unity is the same with the open-vm-tools and the proprietary ones? 
Then there is probably no easy fix to them (maybe the latest
open-vm-tools could help you... you find them in OBS Virtualization:VMware)

And file sharing did not work? How did you try it? Accessing \\.host ? Mounting 
\\.host using vmhgfs? Drag'n'Drop of files? In which direction? From
Host to Guest or vice versa?

(All those questions I would also ask when you put it in Bugzilla.. so they are 
just in advance.. in case you can open a bug ticket of it :) )
