FYI, When I opened settings I got a blank box with just the + and "all" buttons across the top. When I clicked on on "all" vmware app died and I saw the following in the console log. It looks like the server kept running because when I started the app up again it connected immediately to the same running session. I was then able to edit settings normally.
