It may even crash the whole system. This is not a bug in VR3, but some disconnect between a XFCE change in the OpenGL graphics version and its support. Other projects have had the same problem. The error message is strange, supposedly from vmware:

"vmw_ioctl_command error Cannot allocate memory"

My Linux Mint system is running in VirtualBox, not VMWare, and I think that people reporting the same or similar problems with other projects were not even running a VM. I found a solution in this discussion thread. It basically tells XFCE to use an earlier version of OpenGL. It worked for me.

My Manjaro XFCE system does not so far have the problem.

Please file a Leo issue. We should track this issue even if we can't do anything about it.
