Gtkmm 2.99.8 is a four year old development version of the 3.x version.
It's not very recent at all.

Your crash log suggests that you're using GTK+ 2.24. Although the
version of gtkmm you're using contains 2.x in its name it's actually not
a version of gtkmm 2, it's what eventuelly became gtkmm 3 and is not
very useful.

If you want to try to build a new version of gtkmm, and I have no idea
if that will solve your problem with vmware, you should use gtkmm 2.24.
