Bug Description

Using 12.04 current update on a VMWare installation, with VMware player 4.0.1 build-528992, 768 Mbyte RAM, 1 Processor on a Ubuntu 10.04 Quad Core Host.
The System is extremly slow. Unity uses effects which seems not be supported yet by VMware grafics drives. It claims that there is no resolution adjustment possibly for many resolutions. At trying out which monitor resolution is supported Unity chrashed and claimed at the first time that there is not sufficient memory to collect data for bug reporting. Then, after a few minutes, it cames up with with a workinge bug report window.
I tryed to find an adjustment where I can disable grafics effects, like transparency, but I failed.
