I have no idea if this will work, but you could try some of the utilities that
convert an *existing* local X session to RFB (the VNC protocol).
VMware then may (or may not) work in full screen mode, but at least there is a
chance since VMWare has a real normal local X session to work with.
Known utilities that do this include:
krfb - http://www.tjansen.de/krfb/
x11vnc (part of LibVNCServer - http://libvncserver.sourceforge.net/)
x0rfb (or x0rfbserver) - Get rpm's/deb's for this.
The page for the original x0rfbserver files seems to have gone missing. It
seems that was generally in rfb-x.x.x.rpm. Not sure about deb's.
Cheers,
Rasjid.
