This is still happening for me after updating to the overlay-scrollbar from natty-proposed and restarting X.

geoff@serenity:~$ aptsh overlay-scrollbar
Package: overlay-scrollbar
New: yes
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 0.1.10-0ubuntu1

In my case vmware will crash if I switch to a console window for a running vm, or select Help/Check for updates.

Setting LD_PRELOAD=... as described in a previous comment lets vmware run without crashing.

I've attached a backtrace. Hope it helps.
