Your vmware expects a different glib, and doesn't work with the latest version
(built by GARNOME). It should work if you unset $LD_LIBRARY_PATH first, when
calling vmware (or any other legacy app from your system env):

$ unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ vmware

Exactly for that reason (well, actually the major memory allocation changes
back a few versions) I once hacked up a script to break out the GARNOME env
when calling system apps. I'll attach that script in a minute, for convenience.


Closing RESOLVED.

Dieter, if the above does not solve your issue, please feel free to re-open
this bug report, adding any additional information that might help. Also,
thanks for taking the time to report the issue.
