I've always been using vmware overlay, when new kernels and other
things that break vmware, it usually has a fixed version within a few
days. Right now I'm using vmware-modules 1.0.0.25 and
vmware-workstation 6.5.3.185404.

$ ldd /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/vmware/bin/vmware | grep xcb
        libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/libxcb.so.1 (0x00007f7de0aac000)

Seems vmware has updated it in the newer version.
