I hate to be a hardass here, but.

Just because the problem didn't get tripped by GNOME, doesn't mean it
doesn't exist. In fact, I've bumped into A LOT of VMware bugs in
environments not being KDE or GNOME, doubly so for the "server" stuff
they have.

There is a LOT of GTK static and screwed up dynamic issues with VMware
Workstation that I am surprised it even RUNS as well as it does. Mind
you, I use VMware (Server, ESX, Fusion and Workstation) and I see lots
of issues. Trivial user interface issues like this one... 

BAH! Qwitt yur Komplane-ing... </sarcasm>
