Vim redraw issue in Xubuntu 13.10 (running inside VMWare Workstation 10)

I've tried gVim 7.4.131 and gVim 7.3.1314 (both compiled from source by
myself) using the following compilation options:

./configure --with-python-config-dir=/usr/bin/python-config --with-x
--enable-gui=gtk2 --enable-gtk2-check --enable-cscope --disable-netbeans
--enable-multibyte --enable-pythoninterp=yes --disable-darwin
--with-features=huge

and in both versions the screen fails to redraw correctly when entering
text. The main issue seems to be that if a menu is displayed with
autocorrect the screen does not seem to redraw itself. If I press
Control-r then the issue is temporarily fixed. I'm not entirely sure on
the best way to troubleshoot this particular issue. I've had gVim
working correctly on the same operating system, the same version and the
same plugins / configuration with no problem at all.

The only thing I can think of that has changed is that I have recently
switched from using Virtualbox 4.3.6 to using VMWare Workstation 10.

Has anyone got any suggestions for things to try to get some useful
debugging information to try and solve this issue at all? Unfortunately
there doesn't seem to be any error messages in the console if gVim is
started from the command line so I'm somewhat stumped. Especially as I
have had this working just fine in the past.
