Hello,
I noticed the following messages in my .xsession-errors file after installing vmware-tools:
x-session-manager[5575]: WARNING: Could not parse desktop file /usr/share/gnome/autostart/vmware-user.desktop: Key file does not have key 'Type'
x-session-manager[5575]: WARNING: could not read /usr/share/gnome/autostart/vmware-user.desktop
x-session-manager[5575]: WARNING: Could not parse desktop file /etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop: Key file does not have key 'Type'
x-session-manager[5575]: WARNING: could not read /etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop
The contents of those two files is as follows:
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=vmware-user
Name=VMware User Agent
X-KDE-autostart-phase=1
NoDisplay=true
Autostart of vmware-user will work if you change the contents to:
Type=Application
Name=VMware User Agent
Exec=vmware-user
Icon=system-run
Comment=VMware User Agent
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
I would expect this problem to exist for all Gnome guests.
Cheers,
Anders
