VMware Mouse Grab Problem

Some time ago I instaled vmware server in my machine and the mouse was just going crazy, just move it a little and lose focus from the VM Console.


This seems to be due to some changes in the new versions of GTK, so to correct that do the following:


Go to the extension directory



~/.mozilla/firefox/.default/extensions/VMwareVMRC@vmware.com/plugins/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh


and add in the second line:


export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes


And that's it! Just restart Firefox and it works! 


I got this solution from here: http://www.linuxinsight.com/vmware-mouse-grab-ungrab-problem.html
