Yes, that is checked.

Ah, I do not have open-vm-tools installed.  I recall way back in the past that
installing this caused several display problems, so I removed it and never
noticed a problem.  I should re-install it and see if it fixes the issue
without causing other problems.

(I've verified that installing ntp also "fixes" the problem, but you need to
add "tinker panic 0" to /etc/ntp.conf otherwise if your VM is suspended for a
long time, ntp will refuse to synchronize.)
