I am not sure I understand this. After the step I mentioned above, I got 
the web interface gui and was able to login. When I gave the 'vmware' 
command as a normal user, I got a GUI window in which I am now 
installing Windows XP after creating a new virtual machine. Is this the 
same GUI you are talking about? I haven't installed any other vmware 
packages yet (only the server and mui; no console). In the message bar 
at the bottom edge of the GUI window I do see a message sometimes that 
"vmware tools are not installed" or some such thing.
