Tim, I have the exact same issue as you. I can boot to GDM in VMWare, but as soon as I enter my username and password, I get a brown screen and the system freezes. The VMWare process on the host red-lines the host CPU.. I've tried logging in after disabling all services in /etc/xdg/autostart - to no avail. I've also tried disabling Nautilus from starting up, but it hasn't made any difference. I've tried monitoring top on the virtual machine from the host machine over SSH as I log in, to see if I can spot which process is hogging the CPU. The SSH session appears to freeze as soon as I attempt to log in though, and top is never updated with new values. Cheers Chris
