Hi,

(reference to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474076 )
I ran into a small issue with the vmware-user-suid-wrapper.
The file is mod 4755, that's fine.

I'm testing on openSUSE 11.1. If I configure the system to 'auto login', then 
we seem to run in a racing condition where vmblock is not fast enough
in initializing compared to the start of X (gnome).

this results in an error in .xsession.log in the style of:
vmware-user: could not open /proc/fs/vmblock/dev

If I logout / login manually, then the wrapper is autostarted and works as 
expected. So clearly the device is just not available yet.

could the wrapper be a bit more 'flexible' in acquiring the file handle? Give 
it a grace period for example before starting vmware-user?

This could be really helpful I think. But if you have any other suggestions, 
I'm all ears!

Dominique
