Karan Batra's workaround didn't work for me (VMWare Player 4.0.4 and new install of Ubuntu 12.04 64Bit). What did was using the Xconf settings editor (Aplication Menu->Settings->Settings editor), setting the resolution by hand and then using Settings Display (the newly created resolution appears at the top of the list) to set the resolution.
