Here is what I found out that was causing VMWARE console to crash with
this bug in Hardy.   I had a broken icon set.   The default folder icons
in gnome had broken links.   After fixing the links this bug
disappeared.   If you run into this bug while starting the VMWARE
Console then switch to the default Human theme and try again.   If it
works then you have a broken link in your custom icon theme that is
triggering this bug some how.    Here is what was causing this bug for
me.  In /usr/share/icons/customicons/scalable/places

ls -l
gnome-fs-directory.png -> folder
instead of folder.png

so i fixed the link to
gnome-fs-directory.png -> folder.png

Now vmware console starts up without issues.
