I just compiled / installed the 8.8.0 release manually on a Fedora 15 VM and
both features (clipboard sync and display resizing) seem to work as intended. I
haven't had the time to test the development snapshot, but I don't expect much
to have changed (I remember testing it a couple of months ago and it worked as
expected too).

If the Debian guys are packaging things correctly (and you have the
vmware-user-suid-wrapper command automatically execute when you log in to your X
session), then things should work. Check whether you have an instance of the
"vmtoolsd" process running as your logged in user to make sure.
