How to install VMware under ubuntu

Vide: VMware runs beautifully on my new ubuntu 7.04 installation. I'm installing xubuntu under vmware so I can do some Mathematica frontend craziness. Some of the documentation tests open each of the 10000+ files in a Mathematica installation. On this new machine this happens fast enough to short-circuit the mammalian the nervous system if you happen to look at the windows flashing by as they open and close.

I couldn't find a way in gnome to isolate all an application's windows in one workspace and I couldn't get multiple X sessions working, so I'm giving vmware a shot. Very promising so far.
