My mouse moves freely between the host(Windows XP) and (CentOS 5)guest OS and NO vmware-toolbox is running.
The real solution is to use a correctly modified xorg.conf file and the correct mouse driver loaded.
It's the mouse driver that handles the grab & ungrab, the vmware-toolbox process handles the copy / paste
