** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: open-vm-tools
  
  I just updated my virtual machine to Natty (from Maverick) and I noticed
  that copy and paste doesn't work in Natty.  That includes copy and
  pasting of text and drag-and-drop of files into the Ubuntu VM.
  
  It worked before the upgrade to Natty.  When I use open-vm-tools, I
  expect to be able to do these things
+ 
+ === SRU Justification ===
+ 1. Impact: vmware tools, such as file drag-and-drop and cut-n-paste do not 
automatically work.
+ 2. How was the bug addressed:  The vmware-user.desktop file is properly 
installed under /usr/share/applications.
+ 3. Patch: See the debdiff attached in comment #7
+ 4. To reproduce: install natty or ocelot in a vmware VM.  Install 
open-vm-tools.  Cut and paste between guest and host do not work.  Manually run 
vmware-user-suid-wrapper in a terminal in the guest.  Now cut and paste do work.
+ 5. Regression potential:  No code changes are made by this patch.  We only 
force a .desktop file to get installed.
