The console app is a Firefox plugin, but I extract the app and run it 
separately and find that solution (hack?) much better.

 From memory, here is how you do that:
   1. Get a copy of vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi (mine was in 
/usr/lib/vmware/webAccess/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/webapps/ui/plugin/vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi)
   2. Rename the file to vmware-vmrc-linux-x86.xpi.zip
   3. Unzip the file

Now run vmware-vmrc or pass some info like capitalized below:
vmware-vmrc -h HOST:PORT -u USER -p PASSWORD
