Package: open-vm-tools-desktop Version: 2:10.3.5-1 Severity: normal User: [email protected] Usertags: origin-kali
It looks like that vmtoolsd will sometimes start before that the drm/vmwgfx kernel modules are loaded and in that case the resolutionKMS plugin will not be started forcing the user to restart the service to get his screen properly resized. This issue is also discussed upstream here: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/214 I have proposed a simple fix which just tries to load the kernel module before starting the service, it's simple and reliable. For the Debian package, since you have split support for the desktop part in a separate package, you might want to add that directive through a /lib/systemd/system/open-vm-tools.service.d/desktop.conf file extending the basic service file.
