Please post your `emerge --info app-emulation/vmware-workstation' output in a comment. And also all messages you get when running it from a terminal This is a runtime error on a binary package. I suggest a blocker in the vmware-workstation ebuild similar to the ones you use in nvidia-drivers when it is incompatible with a new xorg-server. There is now information reported in the terminal or logs. I found the segfault through gdb and the downgrade fixes it. I am attaching a strace. Sorry I didn't save the bt from gdb.

In case it wasn't clear, there are no messages in the terminal. You can verify the error with vmware-player which will just skip to the next line and not run when you type vmplayer about vmware ---> http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-956334.html Comment on attachment 344756 [details]

This doesn't tell us anything specific about the segmentation fault.
vmware-workstation is a core production app for me so I cannot break it during the workweek. As I remember from the gdb session that found the problem: 1. I tested by running vmware for a terminal with no vm configured so the main window came. up. 2. I attached gdb to the running pid of vmware 3. after typing continue in gdb I clicked on about vmware and the program segfaulted. 4. a bt full showed the a vmware lib tried to create a button which called gtkmm and atkmm libs and then segfaulted. Anyone can reproduce this easily with vmplayer. Note, vmware bundles their own copies of all these libraries but they are not used. I didn't see a documented way to tell vmware-workstation to use bundled libraries.
