I get an error message saying that gtk doesn't like to run suid programs and then 
vmware fails to start. 
 
Work around: 
	chmod -s /opt/vmware/bin/vmware 
	chmod +s /opt/vmware/lib/bin/vmware-vmx 
 
VMWare then starts and everyting is fine.

Since vmware 4 requires a new license, this should be slotted. Forcing an upgrade from 3.2 to 4.0 is not a good idea even for people running unstable. And editing portage.mask every single sync is too tiresome.
