Issue is still in Ubuntu 19.10 with vmware workstation player 15.5. One workaround I found is to use gnome-tweaks to select the wallpaper (under Appearance), and select an Adjustment option of "Wallpaper". Any other adjustment option causes the white background. Works best with a tile-able background, or a very large image that would not automatically tile (like a 4k image).
