Behaviour seems somewhat improved but the root issue is still there.
When rebooting with VMware Player running the scaling is now remembered
correctly, however if I then shut the VM down completely and restart it,
it still starts up at first in default screen size, removing the
scaling.

Wayland doesn't work at all, hangs for 5+ minutes after login in VMware
(this reflects my experiences with Wayland on 18.04 and 18.10 in VMware,

Considering that Mutter indeed knows that a monitor is virtual -
shouldn't it just ignore resolution completely for resolving existing

Thanks Daniel for referencing that comment, it's indeed also relevant
here.
It seems weird as a whole that the available scaling options appear to

Scaling". The Scale options change to 100% / 125% / 175% / 175% / 250%

As a sidenote: the "Fractional scaling selector" in display settings
allows me to choose between 100%, 125%, 175%, 175% and 250%. Note the
duplicate 175% that should likely be 150%.
