Neither can I, and no I haven't been able to make any headway.  Going to
check it out on the VMware forum when I find time.  Both threads I
started on this issue on fedora-test-list got sidetracked onto running
VMware under FC2 rather than vice versa, and Red Hat marked my Bugzilla
entry https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121876 to
CLOSED/NOTABUG - admittedly not without justification - seems to be a
VMware bug, not FC2, but I wanted it on their radar screen.

This limits my FC2 testing ability at work - not willing to risk killing
my main machine.  Still testing at home but time there is very limited.
