(Get the code!)
Same thing, although I notice it more when my mouse goes over the VM window and then back out.
I've intel graphics (sandybridge) so presumbly not graphics driver related.
I'm on vmplayer 4.0.2 as well.
I had problems using killall (inconsistant recovery). Now I launch gnome shell from the console with 'gnome-shell --replace'. When the system freezes, I go to the console and Ctrl-C the gnome-shell process and restart it. As a side benefit, I get to see the gnome-shell error messages and from what I can tell, nothing gets consistenly logged when the system freezes.
