Here is what I found out that was causing VMWARE console to crash with this bug in Hardy. I had a broken icon set. The default folder icons in gnome had broken links. After fixing the links this bug disappeared. If you run into this bug while starting the VMWARE Console then switch to the default Human theme and try again. If it works then you have a broken link in your custom icon theme that is triggering this bug some how. Here is what was causing this bug for me. In /usr/share/icons/customicons/scalable/places

ls -l
gnome-fs-directory.png -> folder
instead of folder.png

so i fixed the link to
gnome-fs-directory.png -> folder.png

Now vmware console starts up without issues.
