clipboard sync borken, and screen resizing borken, in snapshots(?)

[Chip S. <rev...@gm...>]

Debian unstable has just updated its open-vm-tools packaging, which is
great; but neither clipboard coordination nor Linux guest X window
resizing works any more.  WRT the latter, it's resizing the host
window that used to automatically resize the guest desktop.  Now it
doesn't.

Help?  Insight?  Are these known issues?  Are there known workarounds?
