That's definitely not expected. vmtoolsd nor its dependent libraries need X. It
might be a problem with Debian's packaging. To be sure, I'd need:

. list of plugins under $datadir/open-vm-tools/plugins/vmsvc
. output of "ldd vmtoolsd"
. output of "ldd libvmtools.so"

I'm pretty sure the vmtoolsd / libvmtools code don't ever call GTK functions,
but some of the plugins do (and these shouldn't be deployed in the "vmsvc"
container).
