But I noticed much more strange things, such as a dependence on window manager. Day 1: Vmware installed and it runs OK with gnome/icewm. Day 2: Vmware hangs and system reboots when I try to "power on" VM. But it runs OK with wm changed to sawfish. Day 3. Vmware crushes with both the sawfish and icewm! But I never have got crushes under twm and kde. I tried to create a "fresh" user and used it to run vmware with default configuration of gnome and window manager, but without any success. So, I had to move to kde. >This is on a 4.5-RC system >with a cvsup as of Sun Jan 27 before 10 am.
