I'm getting these messages in Fedora 7 x86_64, when logged in as myself, 
and running 'vmware &':

[rlc at bobcp4 ~]$ vmware &
[1] 3414
[rlc at bobcp4 ~]$ /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:62: error: 
unexpected identifier `animation', expected character `}'
/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:62: error: unexpected 
identifier `animation', expected character `}'

[1]+  Done                    vmware
[rlc at bobcp4 ~]$ uname -r
2.6.23.1-21.fc7

It looks like vmware crashes and freezes the entire system up, making a 
reboot of the machine necessary.

Thanks
