I'm seeing the same behavior on 11.10 after updating this morning.
Alonso's workaround doesn't apply to me as it occurs on my physical
system.  This is rather frustrating as I'm currently working in a
network lab - requiring many networking stops - and each iteration
requires a restart!

Title:
  gnome-settings-daemon crashes on resume in VMware

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  gnome-settings-[2165]: segfault at 8 ip 00d5a5a8 sp bf8051f0 error 4
  in libpower.so[d4b000+18000]

  Reliable gnome-settings-daemon crash every time an oneiric system is
  suspended then resumed in VMware Player.  Occurs under both VMware
  Player 3.x and the newest 4 version.  Crash occurs when tried with
  open-vm tools and the official VMware bundle.

  When gnome-settings-daemon crashes the desktop has no theming and
  broken menus.  A restart is needed.
