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.
