vmplayer is loading both libdbus-1-2 and libdbus-1-3. If either of these libraries is removed, then vmplayer will run (same goes for vmware server). Problem seems to be that vmplayer calls dlopen for libdbus-1.so.2, while there's a DT_NEEDED entry for libdbus-1.so.3 in a number of linked shared libraries.
