For #2, do I understand you correctly that this really is good on all
releases/editions except 17.10-Desktop ?

AFAIK the package should be pre-installed on that image.
Oh I see, it is part of the ubuntu-server task, so it is pre-installed on 
server, but might not be on -desktop.

To reproduce what you see, how exactly do you drive the 17.10-Desktop Image 
test?
I assume you do:
1. start VMware
2. create new guest based on the 17.10-Dekstop ISO
3. vmware guest auto-config installs 17.10 onto the virtual disk
4. the system reboots after install
5. then you install open-vm-tools and see vmtoolsd not running

Is the above correct?

** Changed in: open-vm-tools (Ubuntu)
