vmware-player ebuild should depend on modular X libs along with the virtual/x11 fallback
Created attachment 76295 [details, diff] vmware-player-1.0.1.19317.ebuild.patch I did this watching the ldd output from binaries in /opt/vmware/player/lib/bin. I don't think this is 100% correct, but at least it won't try to pull in virtual/x11 every time I run emerge -uD world
Updated with dependencies from vmware-workstation... thanks for the bug report...
