This is because the old version of GTK that's running doesn't support "symbolic names", which were introduced in 2.10. I have had this error with vmware-server-console on AMD64 for many months, and the only consequence is that the vmware-server-console windows have the wrong colours. That is, vmware-server-console starts up and runs fine. Attached is my custom .gtkrc-2.0 for comparison. The gtkrc format is only documented in the GTK API, the relevant file being http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/GtkSettings.html (change unstable to 2.10 or whatever for a specific release version).
