One small Unity feature request that will increase *perceived* performance.

Hi there,

One small feature that I'd love to see with Fusion that will greatly increase perceived performance (vs. actual benchmark-able performance) would be for vmware fusion to synchronize wallpapers with the host OS. This is because whenever I move windows around or resize them in Unity mode, the windows xp background shows whilst vmware fusion plays catch up with window redrawing. The effect is still there, albeit less unsettling when using a solid colour as the guest os background.

If the host OS and the guest OS had synchronized backgrounds, this Unity artifact wouldnt show up.

I've done this myself manually a few times before, and it always seems to make the experience a little better, but it's such a mission to remember to change my background on my vm as well.

Anyway, it's a small thing, try it for yourself manually and see how much better it makes everything feel. I'd love it if this was a built-in feature that fusion did automatically though.
