How to make VMware auto-fit guest windows work with Xmonad?
I use VMware workstation to run Debian Linux on Windows XP. But I don't use the standard desktop environment like gnome or KDE. So after I installed vmware tools in the guest OS, the cool features like auto-fit guest resolution with the workstation window size does not work.
I thought: there must be a simple solution. So I googled and googled. Nothing I can found. Turns out, after utilizing VMware internal resource, I found it is as simple as running the in-guest agent program "vmware-user" in your .xsession. So here is my .xsession file, which I run xmonad and urxvt as my main desktop environment.
xsetroot -solid gray xsetbg -center /usr/share/pixmaps/debian-logo.png xset b off unclutter -idle 1 & vmware-user & urxvt & xmonad
