Vmplayer 5 not connecting to ESXi

Dear all, it seems Player 5 (on Ubuntu 12.10 64bit) does no more connect to ESXi. I tried from a different Ubuntu 12.10 64bit machine and can confirm that prvious version 4.0.4 connect to a VM in ESXi when called from command line with "vmplayer -h <ESXi-IP-adress>". For vmplayer 5.0.0 the parameter "-h" now means Help. It seems that for vmplayer 5.0.0 there is a new parameter "-host" (at least it does not object about it) but vmplayer does not open usual user/password promt and exits. Is it a bug or do I miss smth?
