why not leave the Kubuntu and Ubuntu at whatever... say 800x600 and then
get to the gui login screen via tightvnc?
You don't have to worry about starting the vmware console or even
pressing ctrl-alt to release the cursor.
It's very smooth and the cursor just flows between vmware screens and
your screen.
Give me a holler if you want some configs.

I have a small problem with running Ubuntu and Kubuntu under VMware.
By default, both of these start up during boot with a 1024x768
resolution window, which doesn't fit well on a 1024x768 screen (my
lappy). When Ubuntu (reconfigured to 800x600) finally settles down it
does to as a 800x600 window. Kubuntu, however (reconfigured to
800x600), settles down as a 800x600 screen in a 1024x768 window, which
look very messy.
Does anyone know what/where the settings are that determine the
initial window size as the guest system boots? I've looked in most
likely places and config files in VMware and ~/.vmware, but can find
nothing that looks liable.
