I have seen the same behavior when running through the arm_navigation
tutorials in my VMWare box.  If I reboot to run Ubuntu natively, or if
I simply run:

$ roslaunch gazebo_worlds empty_world.launch

it worked.  I haven't tried to diagnose it any further than that.  It
does seem to work if I run it headless (which is what I have to do
when running in a VMWare box on my puny little MacBook).
