I can confirm the problem, however I cannot confirm the solutions.
I still get this:

Eventually my problem is caused by the fact that I had VMWare's tarball
installed previously and eventually their uninstall script might have
left some traces iiritating Canonical's packaged version.

I switched back to the VMWare tarball and it's fine for me now.
This is one of the apps where I like to stay at the bleeding edge anyway 
(Bleeding edge means being ahead of any distribution most of the time and using 
upstream tarballs all the time).
