@Shane,

I assume your referring to the dependencies of: xauth, xserver-xorg-
input-vmmouse, and xserver-xorg-video-vmware.  I don't know if xdg-utils
is a X-related Package or not.

But I have 2 options, which could use input.  And for the record, I'm going to 
add to my August release proposal (which will be a brand new one)
1) Create a package called "open-vm-tools-gui," which will include only 
X-related packages, and depend on open-vm-tools.  So it technically will be a 
dummy file (I think).  I don't know how to have the package auto-install if it 
detects that Ubuntu isn't running a server.  This option is also troublesome, I 
think you know why.  If this option chosen, I might create a proposal for 
Oneiric-Proposed.
2) I can't remember my original #2, but here's an alternate.  Approve my 
proposal (which one has be added for Precise), so that we have something to 
work with.  Said proposal can be found here:
