Description:
I am using open-vm-tools in an Arch guest (x86_64) running in vmware workstation 7.1.3 on a Windows 7 SP1 host.

This version does not allow Drag and Drop offiles between the guest and the host. Nor does it allow to display the guest in Unity mode. This is reported by many users in the Arch Forum (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=113605).

After investigation, it appears that those two functionalities now rely on the use of fuse. The package has to be built with fuse as Makedepends to include a binary (vmblock-fuse), which performs the tasks.
I also found out that building without gtkmm was not possible, thus gtkmm must also be a Makedepends.

Now, considering that at runtime both Drag and Drop and the Unity mode require fuse and gtkmm, I would suggest they are promoted from Optdepends to Depends (although not every user would use these functionalities, I am assuming most would probabley do.

Havind said that, some issues remain:
- in Unity mode the menu is empty, at least in KDE (see upstream bug http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3117826&group_id=204462&atid=989708)
- Drag and Drop only works in one direction (from guest to host),at least in KDE

Could other users report their mileage under other Desktop Environments ?

Steps to reproduce:
Install open-vm-tools in a clean VM. Start the daemon (as root) and the user-agent (as user) in the Desktop Environment. Click on the Unity icon in the VMWare Workstation menu bar. An error message is displayed.
