I can run vmware-player just fine and my install of XP will run in it,
but all the text is just little boxes.  Luckily, I remember the
important ones (exit, how to focus and release focus, etc), but I cannot
change any options now.

Has anyone else run into this?  Is it perhaps the emulation libraries
being a problem?

I haven't had this problem, but since you've upgraded your kernel, it might help to run:

/opt/vmware/player/bin/vmware-config.pl

which can reset font paths and such. You may also wish to remerge the player, and see if that helps.
Sorry, I couldn't be of more assistance, but maybe these simple steps can solve your problem.
