1. Migrate to open-vmware-tools : they stay current with kernel and seem to have less 'hooks' into kernel to get messed up every release - I also run VMware and it has nowhere the issues I see with Parallels Tools on *nix.
2. Clearly state which linux distros are supported and what works at what...
