Comment 16 for bug 772063

The same thing happens to me with VMware Player 4.0.1-528992.x86_64 on Ubuntu 11.10. I launch VMware Player, and it runs fine. I can start a virtual machine and interact with it. But when I click to another window on my desktop, I can no longer access the VMware Player window. When I try to alt-tab to it, there is no icon/option available, and in my Unity sidebar there is no triangle showing that the application is in use. I can see that the process is still running, however, from using 'ps aux' in a shell, and when I try launching VMware Player again it says that the VM is in use.
