My apologies, because I am using a modified RHEL 7 kernel (Concurrent RedHawk 7.3.2) I have been working this issue with both you and Concurrent Support. I had missed the instruction on the Compatibility page to set 'export TVNC_WM=mate-session'. Now that I have added this to my shell environment TurboVNC is working.
