If I go into Fedora settings and change the resolution then the vmware window resizes itself. Prior to VMware tools the vmware window would stay the same size and add scroll bars or a black border. Not exactly sure where you mean for drag/drop. It works fine within Fedora for me. If I create a shared folder (I usually don't use them with Linux) I could also drag from it to a Fedora directory from within Fedora. The permissions it mounts with by default don't let me write to it even though I told vmware not to make it read-only. No drag/drop between OS X and Fedora but I didn't expect that to work. @robrob

Drag and drop also does not work. Does autofit/resize and drag-and-drop work for you? I followed your instructions but I can’t seem to get screen autofit/resize to work. Drag and drop also does not work.

Does autofit/resize and drag-and-drop work for you?
