I wanted to note that I ran into the same "Locking assertion failure" mentioned here, using Debian 5.0: http://communities.vmware.com/message/992421 I resolved it using the recommendation here: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg606789.html Namely: apt-get install gtkhtml3.14 Thanks again.
