I hope the open-vm-tools team can figure out why, in Fedora 25 and newer using XOrg (not Wayland) and I assume Ubuntu 17.04 and newer, there is this desktop freezing issue that makes it impossible to have the guest OSs in VMware. Thanks for the additional workaround may I ask though is this any different or better performing than my workaround where you disable VMware 3D hardware acceleration for the VM? Turning off hardware acceleration in GNOME makes it almost unusable. This makes the system go smoother, but it's by far not the desired solution. However you can enable it for other applications by setting the environment variable to 0 for them.

If I turn off 3D acceleration or not have the VM in full screen (4K) then it doesn't freeze, but this is very inconvenient as Gnome doesn't run well without 3D acceleration. The freezing will occur in both XOrg and Wayland desktop sessions.
After a lot of troubleshooting to figure out what is causing the freezing it appears to be due to the 3D acceleration and only in full screen mode. The Gnome desktop will just randomly freeze and I cannot do anything or get control of it without doing a hard reboot of the VM. open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop (10.1.5-4.fc25) installed automatically and successfully. I created a new guest running the latest Fedora 25, with 2 GB max guest memory for graphics. In the BIOS I've set for the Intel GPU to get the max amount dedicated video memory possible (512 MB). VMware runs on the Intel HD 630 GPU (verified by Nvidia GPU activity monitor never showing VMware process). It uses hybrid graphics between integrated Intel and Nvidia GPUs using Nvidia Optimus with default settings on a 4K display.

I have a new Windows laptop running latest Windows 3 and VMware Workstation 12.5.7 build-5813279.
