Same problem in Xubuntu Jaunty (9.04) installed in VMWare Player 2.5.2
build-156735. First, the problem is described, second, the solution
based on this page.

1. PROBLEM

It seems that screen resolution and other "hardware" configurations,
such as Caps Lock "On" are not saved when closing session. I installed
several times, even tried first installing Ubuntu and adding Xubuntu
through synaptics. Also, after installed in Xubuntu, Gnome session
configurations are saved, but choosing back Xfce the problem is still
there.

Runs correctly if installed in Sun VirtualBox 2.2.4 r47978.

Ubuntu, OpenSuse, Windows XP, Mint, all run properly, in VMW Player.

Back to Xubuntu in VMWP,  a line of Xorg.0.log was "Unable to estimate
virtual size" as appears also in Bug #194783 (comment there by David
Mills on 2008-02-23).

2. SOLUTION

Screen problem solved using comment by  Tomasz Dominikowski on
2008-02-17. the only change was higher mode to 1152x864, instead of
1280x1024:

Section "Monitor"
 Identifier "Configured Monitor"
 Option "DPMS"
 HorizSync 30.0 - 80.0
 VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0

EndSection

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Monitor "Configured Monitor"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
        Depth 24
        Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubSection
EndSection
