GDM, x2x, and security
Earlier fedora installs has a graphical login configuration screen -- I can't find it anymore. So I had to search high and low to understand that I needed to do the following:
edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf
And add as follows:
...
[security]
DisallowTCP=false
...
Desktop Effects, Window Chooser, Top Right interferes w/ Volume control...
This is a real pain in the arse when desktop effects are enabled. And I don't know what the mouse guesture thing is called, nor the window chooser - which makes searching on google near impossible.

Here's the detail:
gconf-editor
in the terminal and go to: apps > compiz > plugins > scale > allscreens > options and change the initiate_all_edgebutton value to BottomLeft.
That was for ubuntu, on Fedora it seems to be called 'initiate_edge' and the value is free text, but 'BottomLeft' does what you think it will...
VMware does not allow ctrl-alt-delete on initial install, or any time after vmware-config.pl
This is a key mapping problem. Short answer is to append the following to /etc/vmware/config:
xkeymap.keycode.108 = 0x138 # Alt_R
xkeymap.keycode.106 = 0x135 # KP_Divide
xkeymap.keycode.104 = 0x11c # KP_Enter
xkeymap.keycode.111 = 0x148 # Up
xkeymap.keycode.116 = 0x150 # Down
xkeymap.keycode.113 = 0x14b # Left
xkeymap.keycode.114 = 0x14d # Right
xkeymap.keycode.105 = 0x11d # Control_R
xkeymap.keycode.118 = 0x152 # Insert
xkeymap.keycode.119 = 0x153 # Delete
xkeymap.keycode.110 = 0x147 # Home
xkeymap.keycode.115 = 0x14f # End
xkeymap.keycode.112 = 0x149 # Prior
xkeymap.keycode.117 = 0x151 # Next
xkeymap.keycode.78 = 0x46 # Scroll_Lock
xkeymap.keycode.127 = 0x100 # Pause
xkeymap.keycode.133 = 0x15b # Meta_L
xkeymap.keycode.134 = 0x15c # Meta_R
xkeymap.keycode.135 = 0x15d # Menu
