This is what's happening: When you work in the VMWare, the screensaver
timeout expires and gnome-screensaver tries to grab the mouse. Since
VMWare won't let it, it keeps trying. Once you leave the VMWare window,
it becomes successful in grabbing the mouse and starts the screensaver.
This is a well-known issue that is documented here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingScreenLocking#gnome-
screensaver%20cannot%20grab%20keyboard%20or%20mouse
Since this is basically the same issue as bug 49579, I am marking this
bug as a duplicate, even though bug 49579 may not specifically mention
VMWare.
Thanks for reporting this issue.
