Oh, one thing I would do is to actually confirm if wayland is in use.  I'm not 
certain that the VMware video
drivers support it. 

So, I'd install, if not already installed, inxi and then run "inxi -GxxSMza".  
The Graphics section will have a line
such as...

Display: x11 server: Fedora Project X.org 1.20.6 driver: nvidia

If wayland is in use then you'd see "wayland server".
