you could run vmware in windows full screen mode.  :-)

unfortunately we simply don't have software cursor
support, which linux full screen mode basically requires.
a few people have tried adding software cursors before, and i have
yet to see a satisfactory solution, one that doesn't
introduce a lot of extra complexity.  i don't expect
to have this bug fixed for at least a few months.
sorry.
