Thanks for spotting that. I've just bumped the version, so you should be able to use it now. Please note, since this is a beta *and* in the overlay, there are a few things broken with it: 1. With gnome-2.18.0 you seem to have to start as follows: VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=force vmware 2. The configure script seems to fail if the vmware service is already stopped. It's unclear if this is a change in vmware, or because it was tested using baselayout-2. 3. It doesn't seem to appear in the desktop menus. Please give these a test and see if you experience the same issues. Please report back to this bug (even though it's resolved) if you do. Thanks... 5:)
