查看系统日志发现以下信息： 

Jun 16 17:02:29  x-session-manager[3367]: WARNING: Could not parse desktop file /usr/share/gnome/autostart/-user.desktop: 键文件没有键“Type”
Jun 16 17:02:29 ubuntu x-session-manager[3367]: WARNING: could not read /usr/share/gnome/autostart/-user.desktop
Jun 16 17:02:30 ubuntu x-session-manager[3367]: WARNING: Could not parse desktop file /etc/xdg/autostart/-user.desktop: 键文件没有键“Type”
Jun 16 17:02:30 ubuntu x-session-manager[3367]: WARNING: could not read /etc/xdg/autostart/-user.desktop

给/usr/share/gnome/autostart/vmware-user.desktop 加上可写权限之后，打开发现内容如下： 

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=vmware-user
Name=VMware User Agent
X-KDE-autostart-phase=1
NoDisplay=true

Google一番之后发现更改成以下内容： 

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=VMware User Agent
Exec=vmware-user
Icon=system-run
Comment=VMware User Agent
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true

再次退出登录即可发现vmware-user自动启动了，自动适应VMware workstation窗口大小了。

Using compiler “/usr/bin/gcc”. Use environment variable CC to override.

Your compiler “/usr/bin/gcc” version “gcc 版本 4.3.3 ( 4.3.3-54)
” is not supported by this version of Tools.

The memory manager driver (vmmemctl module) is used by VMware host software to
efficiently reclaim memory from a virtual machine.
If the driver is not available, VMware host software may instead need to swap
guest memory to disk, which may reduce performance.
The rest of the software provided by is designed to work
independently of this feature.
If you want the memory management feature, you can install the driver by
running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils, make
and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your machine.
These packages are available on your distribution’s installation CD.

郁闷坏了，经过调试发现这个破VMWare Tools在获取gcc版本信息时是解析“gcc version …”，而且必须是英语的version，偏偏中文版Ubuntu把这个也翻译了。解决办吧就是更改Ubuntu的系统语言为English。通过菜单系统->系统管理->语言支持，把默认语言改成English(United States)，退出之后再次登录，重新安装即可顺利通过安装。

但是在进入到vmware-config-tools.pl这一步时却又报错。说是__grab_cache_page函数重定义了。VMWare现在都是最大的虚拟化供应商怎么犯这个错误了。解决办法是进入/usr/lib/vmware-tools/modules/source目录解压vmhgfs.tar中的page.c，并编辑page.c中的867行修改为

page = grab_cache_page(mapping, index);

重新运行vmware-config-tools.pl即可。
