Why won't VMware fix this on the most popular Linux OS?
There are reports of this issue dating back years!
These are the symptoms. As you can see the 'X' used to close the windows is not drawn properly.
root@lpc:/home/abram# vmware
(vmware-modconfig:17461): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",
(vmware-tray:17540): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",

There must be over 20 reports/discussions of this elsewhere.
None of the suggested solutions have worked for me.
Installing the following and reinstalling Workstation 10.0.1 hasn't helped.
