Don't worry about that warning, I get it every time I use VMware and
have not had any issues.  I run VMware Mon-Fri for a good 8 hours.  I
use it for work.

Maybe I will look into the gdk-pixbuf.loaders issue if I find some time.
 Though as I stated, I have not had one issue because of it, I even
played a few smaller games under VMware like Heroes of Might and Magic III.
