Sorry for not getting back earlier; your email got buried in a pile of messages.

When VMware's SVGA driver is not running, we can't warp the mouse
cursor inside the guest. Doing an auto-grab in this case would cause
the mouse to jump elsewhere (leading to poor user experience), so
auto-grab is turned off (at least I think that's the reason).

Thanks,
