I have a user who freshly installed CentOS on their desktop.  They also 
installed VMWare 6.02.

When they click the mouse on their Linux desktop, the screen saver properly 
activates.  But, when they click the mouse in their VMWare session, the Linux 
screen saver never activates.  This has been tried for both VMWare Player and 
Workstation.

I don't know if it makes any difference, but the VMWare Guest OS is Windows XP 
w/SP2.

Thanks for any insight.

Scott
