I'm unable to reproduce this. With either Unity or XFCE desktop, resizing the VMWare Player window works okay for me. I'm using the same 3.13.0-30.55 kernel (on both host and guest), but my VMware Player is newer: "6.0.3 build-1895310".

Daniel, please update your VMWare Player to that version and check whether the problem persists.

That said, I notice this commit, recently added to mainline, which modifies the patch you identified as the problem (2a4faaba in trusty):

  (mainline) 4e57808 drm/vmwgfx: Fix incorrect write to read-only register v2:
  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=4e578080

Daniel, can you try applying that (along with the problem 2a4faaba commit)... Does that fix it?
