Bug#486507: libx11-6: Locking assertion failure with vmware-server-console



Search through the Internet, one small workaround fixed the problem without downgrading libx11.

1. Get old libx11, example from etch.
2. Create directory $VMWARE/lib/libX11.so.6/ (where $VMWARE is the installation directory of vmware-server-console)
3. Copy libX11.so.6* from etch's libx11-6_1.0.3XXXXX/usr/lib/ to $VMWAR/lib/libX11.so.6/
4. Edit $VMWARE/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh (my vmware-server-client version: 1.0.6):

    # FontConfig is actually fairly well behaved but the fonts.conf that we

5. it works!
