Hi,
what is really needed is a fusion option that states "the mouse does not belong to you". the vmware support folks told me that arch is not supported. end of story. they do not (yet) understand how to deal with command-line non-X based clients. it's a bit surprising, given vmware's server-farm heritage.
/iaw
Don't expect that the support folks know every feature in/out. Alternatively the way you are wording it here, they might simply not have understood what you asked for.
Anyways, you can run gui-less just fine.
Under menu VMware -> Preferences make sure that the very first option: "When closing a virtual Machine" is has the "Confirm before closing" checked.
Then when you click on the "x" on a windowed VM you get a confirmation question that asks you if you want to "run in background"/"Power Off"/"suspend"
Just select "run in background" .. and the VM runs gui-less.
