Hello, I assume my report has been misunderstood.
You are right, these are two packages. But the behavior observed by the bug reporter is exactly what I also observed. So I long struggled with this problem. Then I found https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1468592#p1468592 which mentions "... Xorg 1.16, the xf86-video-vmware driver, and open-vm-tools DO NOT work together...It turns out the problem is specifically with Xorg 1.16 and the xf86-video-vmware driver..." So in this bug we assume it is clearly related to open-vm-tools, but in fact it seems the underlying xserver-xorg-video-vmware causes this behavior. So by patching xserver-xorg-video-vmware as noted above, my observed problem with open-vm-tools was gone. So finally I can only encourage everyone, which observes the same problem, to try patching xserver-xorg-video-vmware.
