I'm getting really frustrated. (googling didn't help cos not sure what
to input as search string)
Under Vmware, the CTRL-E key means Power OFF and during my virtual
session, one of the apps I'm using uses Ctrl-E as an "Start execution"
shortcut.
Unfortunately, if I were to move the mouse _out_ of the vmware focus
area, then the whole virtual term shuts down.
I believe there is a "Do you really want to shut down" diaglog box
somewhere.
Can anyone let me know where that is??
(Frustrating to lose work in the middle of something. This is like the
5th time already I'm restarting and picking up the "unsaved" pieces)

In ~/.vmware/preferences, find the setting 'hint.vmui.poweroff'.
Change it from 'FALSE' to 'TRUE'. You might want the same thing for
hint.vmui.reset.
