Ah. I see what I did. I inadvertently installed both the open-vm-tools and 
vmware packages. The page at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Tools 
gives both instructions and I missed the "do one or the other". Sorry 'bout 
that.

Is there any difference between the open version vs. the vmware versions? I've 
noticed occasional client networking drop outs ...
