/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc is located in the
gtk2-engines package, whose description says

    [...]
    The package includes the following engines:
    * Clearlooks, the default GNOME theme, based on Bluecurve;
    [...]

I take it you're running under GNOME?  Have you tried running under an
alternate X environment, or with another theme?

However, I've just installed the gtk2-engines package on my etch/i386
workstation and set my theme to Clearlooks, and vmware-server-console
runs fine with the new theme.

What version of gtk2-engines do you have installed and what is on line
34 of /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc?  My copy (from version
1:2.8.2-1) doesn't have a @ anywhere in the file.
