Interesting.  Does /etc/vmware/locations exist?  It appears to be built by 
the vmware-config.pl script.

The latest vmware-any-any-104 patch causes the VMware menu items to 
disappear from Applications -> System Tools, which is why I tried without 
it.  The vmware-config.pl build works fine and vmware runs fine without 
the patch on my system.

I don't seem to be able to do Netware logins from my virtual WinXP, but 
that's a topic for another thread.
