I just tried running vmware-user-suid-wrapper, and it works.

Isn't the vmware-user.desktop file suppose to be created when open-vm-tools?

If it isn't being created properly, then I suggest that someone should push a fix, so that when open-vm-tools is installed, the vmware-user.desktop is created.

I don't have a problem creating the file, put it would be a hassle. I would like it created during the install process.

Looking at the diff file (seen on the next line), it is installed, although would someone be kind and tell me what that sed command is suppose to do with the vmware-toolbox.desktop file after it's installed.
+ mkdir -p debian/open-vm-toolbox/usr/share/applications
+ install -m 644 scripts/common/vmware-toolbox.desktop debian/open-vm-toolbox/usr/share/applications
+ sed -i s/Exec=.*/Exec=vmware-toolbox/ debian/open-vm-toolbox/usr/share/applications/vmware-toolbox.desktop
