plz tell any further information u have
ubuntu guest addition will give additional driver support and i think i will be be able to see compiz effects if possible
Don't count on it, VMware doesn't currently have an 3D driver support, and compiz needs that.
vmWare indeed has rudimentary 3d support. Google it.
You gotta run vmware_toolbox (or similar) inside the vm to get mouse pointer integration; no it does not run during gdm, only when logged in.
The autosize guest or full-screen does not work as seamlessly with that either.
Also try virtualbox that may yield better results.
hth,

Rudimentary, not quite enough for Compiz, unfortunately....
