the open-vm-tools should be generally be splitted in packages
with and without X11 deps - below my personal SPEC file for
a fedora infrastructure on top of vSphere with all things you
need for "VMware DataRecovery"-backups and VMware-HighAbility
you do not want any X11-deps and HGFS stuff on production sevrers
