That is pretty weird. The vmtoolsd started from /etc/init.d shouldn't ever need
libgdk, since it's not supposed to run in an X session.

Your install probably has more stuff in plugins/common and plugins/vmsvc than it
should.

X resize (the resolutionSet plugin) should run in the user session, so in the
instance of vmtoolsd started from your X desktop start scripts (vmtoolsd -n 
vmusr).

Aside from that, there's not much I can say since just the vmtoolsd binary
cannot help in figuring out what's wrong. More information (like the exact
vmtoolsd command line, a stack trace from the crash captured by running it
inside gdb, or a core dump) would be needed. Or, in the very least, logs.
