VMware Problem on SLES10 SP2

There seems to be a problem with VMware Server 1.0X on SLES10 SP2 i386.

When you try to browse for a VM the VMware interface seems to hang.

Easist way to fix this is to edit the vmware script /usr/bin/vmware

and add the line:

export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes

So the file looks something like this:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Copyright 2005 VMware, Inc. All rights reserved.
#
# Wrapper for the real 'vmware' binary. Ensure that the binary will find
# all the shared libraries it needs. If a shared library is not available from any
# of the standard system-wide locations, we provide it from the location where
# the VMware software is installed. --hpreg
#

export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes

# BEGINNING_OF_DB_DOT_SH
#!/bin/sh

#
# Manage an installer database
#

# Add an answer to a database in memory
db_answer_add() {
