Hmm... I was using vmware-user& in .xinitrc, so the fact I shouldn't be 
doing it comes as a surprise :)

In any case, to clarify, I should execute vmware-user-suid-wrapper 
before vmtoolsd gets started?
I'm asking because the open-vm-tools daemon initiates vmtoolsd, so 
unless I remove the daemon, I have no chance to do as you suggest.
