On the forums in response to my suggestion to downgrade the lib,
Heroprotago suggests using the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to force
vmware to use the glib it is shipped with.

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0/libglib-2.0.so.0

He suggests putting this in the vmware shell script. I would recommend
creating your own shell script that exports this environment variable
and calls the vmware script so it is persistent across vmware upgrades.

It is a usable workaround while waiting for a fix.
