Tried also that, same result. Anyway, I found that I can also reset my network settings via emerge --config vmware-workstation, so I don't need this anymore.
(In reply to comment #4) this issue should be related with recent libxcb-1.4 upgrade. A lot of people reported the same error. I get it with firefox each time i start up kde, or gnome. My synaptic touchpad does not work and i guess that is related with this error. Infact when i run: xinput list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" as suggested here http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Synaptics_TouchPad_driver_for_X i get: Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0". unable to find device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad regards
