The workaround is to add "VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=no" to the command-line. "VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=no vmware". My guess of the cause is that the libraries shipped with VMware are not compatible with the libraries shipped by Fedora 8. It is probably that the libgnome-vfs.so, dynamically loaded by gtk, needs a symbol not provided by the old version of GTK available with VMware. The solution is to use the system GTK. - Ian [1] http://communities.vmware.com/thread/104553
