1.安装Gnome界面:
参考ubuntu官方解决方法:http://askubuntu.com/questions/227712/vmware-unity-mode-with-ubuntu-12-10
I had the same problem. I thought it is just Ubuntu 12.10, so I setup 12.04 in Vmware Workstation 9 and had the same result. You're right, it's hard to find the solution for this. The problem is Unity Desktop (in Ubuntu), so I switched to gnome3.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
Log out and click the circle to change between desktop environment

2.重新登入ubuntu选择gnome登陆:
3.需要说明的是以上安装方法只用安装第一种界面,第2,3种是Gnome经典界面,需要执行:
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
4.还需要说明一点,进入第一种界面之后,虽然说VMware Workstation 能进入Unity模式,但是无法
正常切换到桌面,需要进入第三种界面才行,最终在宿主机windows 7通过ctr+alt+u可调出ubuntu
程序菜单,可直接在windows界面下运行相关程序。
