Same for me here. However I use the following workaround to log in at all (this is with VMWare Workstation):

1. Click in the VMs Window and hit Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F2
2. Log in to the console
3. sudo apt-get install openssh-server

4. From the host: ssh -Y user@VMs_IP
5. sudo gnome-control-center &
6. Click on "Login Window"
7. Enable Remote Login
8. Restart the VM (sudo shutdown -r now)
9. Open another Logon Screen on the Host (Switch User)
10. Select XDMCP from the menu
11. Select the VMs IP and log in

Voila, full screen logon to your Intrepid system.
