Summary	0007839: open-vm-tools not working on kali kde
Description	Describe the bug My computer host: win10 VMware® Workstation 16 Pro：16.2.4 build-20089737 Kali GNU/Linux 2022.3 Kernel version: 5.18.0-kali5-amd64 (64 bit) KDE plasma version: 5.25.3 The self-contained vmware-tools does not work properly with kali kde, it only provides graphical functionality, but copy and paste has no effect. kali kde comes with open-vm-tools, But copy and paste does not work properly. I tried a complete uninstall and reinstall, open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop. Everything was fine, but when I restarted it, I lost the copy and paste function again. I can only solve this problem by typing vmware-user in the terminal every time I log in to the system.
Steps To Reproduce	Install normally, update normally, reboot, and then you'll notice the loss of work. It may happen right away and may require a few more reboots.
