Just started happening to me too. I like to resize my vmware workstation and I like to have the guest OS resize too instead of just shrinking everything, making only usable in full screen.  Haven't even tried unity yet.  Options in drop-down are grayed-out, but options in preferences are there and do not make a difference.

Would love to share some log files to help correct this, and NO, not upgrading to 17 just to hope to resolve this issue. cmon, thank you please
