(Get the code!)
I just thought I would add to this that the problem occurs also in Arch Linux and Fedora Core 16. It seems to be specific to gnome-shell and switching to the launcher especially when there is activity in the vm. I can almost reliable crash gnome-shell by starting a file copy (windows xp) on vmplayer and then switching to the launcher (upper left corner). Do that a couple of times and it will crash. Of course you can ctl-alt-f1 into another session and sudo killall -9 gnome-shell and ctl-alt-f7 and if gnome-shell doesn't come back, you can at least shutdown the vm so as not to corrupt the vm.
