You are correct. The program now starts and informs me that
I'm running on a remote X server (understandable), but the refresh
problem remains.

This whole $DISPLAY thread is almost definitely a red herring, but...
Try localhost/unix:0
If you use localhost/unix:0, it will connect using a unix domain
socket instead of a tcp socket.
The probable reason you can't display to localhost:0 (nor `hostname`:0
I suspect) is that your X server is running with -nolisten tcp. You
can turn that off (it's on by default for security reasons; the
recommended way is to use ssh with X11 port forwarding), but it's
probably not causing your vmware problems, so this is straying off
topic.
That said, I don't know why you are having refresh problems with
vmware3. I've seen similar problems with vnc, but that's probably not
related.
