I saw this in the wiki, so I issued it:

export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK='yes'

And now the error is slightly different:

michael@camille ~ $ export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK='yes'
michael@camille ~ $ vmware
/opt/vmware/workstation/lib/bin/vmware: symbol lookup
error: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libatk-bridge.so: undefined symbol:
atk_misc_get_instance
