Try
   chcon -t textrel_shlib_t
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so,0/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0

Thanks, that did it. Is this something that can go in selinux-policy-targeted, or is it something that VMware needs to take care of?

We can take care of the file context to allow it, but vmware should fix there library to not need it, if possible.
