VMWare support for desktop is incomplete out of the box

I just installed MX Linux XFCE (normal and AHS) into VMWare Workstation for Windows. Copying and pasting between Windows-host and MX-guest did not work out of the box. It took me a while to find out that the package "open-vm-tools" is installed, but the quite small "open-vm-tools-desktop" is not. The latter ist needed for copying and pasting.
