Resolution reduced after existing VMwareServer's Fullscreen Mode!

Fellow VMwareServer Users:
I am running VMware's Server (1.0.1) under Xubuntu 6.06.1 (XFce)... When
using VMware's Server Console directly on the Xubuntu's Console, upon
existing a running VMware Client's Fullscreen Mode, Xubuntu's X11 Display
was its resolution reduced (one must pan around to view the entire
Desktop)!!! I tried duplicating the problem under Ubuntu 6.06.1 (GNOME)
and found for all resolutions other than the one selected by the fresh
Install (1182x864 at 75 Hz), the resolution and/or Refresh Rate will be
reduced upon exiting the Full Screen Mode... Under Xubuntu this
1182x864 at 75 Hz Resolution is NOT listed explicitly (although it is
Xubuntu's "Default"), also behaves "correctly"!!! Under Xubuntu/Ubuntu
the Display Resolution Functions effect change immediately, which is
different than other Systems where X11's Config Files are observed and the
X11 Server must be restarted for changes... Therefore I do NOT know where
the data used for these Resolution Changers are maintained and hence I can
not go poking around to see if any changes there might allow the
VMwareServer to exit its Fullscreen Mode with the the same settings as on
entry??? Are other Xubuntu/Ubuntu users having similar problems with
VMwareServer and if so were there any "solutions"???
