From: Nicholas Clark Date: 10:23 on 26 Jun 2007 Subject: VMware Server Console Dear hateful VMware Server Console: I have drool follows pointer. So why can't you accept typing from me, unless I click in the window? Oh. and of course, once I click in the window, you grab the mouse too. So then I have to remember to press keys to unlock the mouse before I can go back to drooling in another window. Hateful thing. You're making me have to think. Oh, and the way you change the height of your lower window bound depending on whether the mouse is grabbed is hatefully irritating too. Crap. Nicholas Clark

Really, it feels like I've just traded one set of problems for another. Why is it that vmware server console always spawns itself to the upper left corner, with the top edge of the window above the top of the screen? Why won't you accept -geometry? Why can I power a guest on and off from the console, but if I use vmware-cmd I have to have vmware-tools installed and running? Why aren't there man pages for any of your tools? Of course, that last point reminds me that I'm working with linux a lot more again and it seems to be normal for programs not to have man pages, and for configuration files to be spread around in a number of different places. Sometimes old hatred you forgot about comes back all at once, and it's just too much hate to condense into a reasonable mailing list post. -Zach
