CentOS - Mar 2012 - keyboard and mouse not working on vnc when vmware tools installed

I had some trouble  with centos 6 installed on ESXi 5. Vnc didn't work
properly until i removed the file /etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop.

I found the solution in this thread on vmware forums:
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/326868

The same solution applies to xrdp since it uses vnc.

Maybe this helps someone find the solution faster.
