VMWare issues


I am going to sound like such a newb!

First question. I accidentally closed the transparent desktop window and I want to get it back. How do i get it back or how do I create a new one, because it was very useful! Another question - what is that actually called so I know?

Second question. I have installed Suse on Vmware Fusion 3, I want to remove the Vmware tools installed within Suse and install the Vmware tools that came with Fusion 3, I also want to enable the graphical effects on the desktop, is there anyway I can do this? A guide to removing the old tools and installing the new one would be helpful.

Thanks

John

First question I don't know as I don't have any need for transparency features. Wrt Vmware tools, SuSE being RPM-based, this usually (I use VMWare Server) involves VMWare loading a .iso file inside the VM guest, the VM guest (auto-)mounting it and making the package manager install the package. That being the case you could 0) make Fusion load the .iso, or extract and copy the package over, and upgrade it or 1) use your package to search for the installed vmware-tools package and uninstall it before installing the new one.
