Comment 18 for bug 188391

This how to with open-vm-tools worked flawlessly btw, as a workaround while we are waiting for official packages. I substituted the latest open-vm package (pen-vm-tools-2008.07.01-102166), but other than that it works pretty much word-for-word. It is for VM-fusion, but worked under VMWare workstation 6
