I'm on CentOS 7.9 / GNOME 3.28.1. I can confirm that the trick does not work with RHEL 8. :( I really wish developers would stop deliberately disabling things in a VNC environment. A good number of large organizations use TurboVNC and VirtualGL in lieu of 3D workstations. It's 2021, and we need to stop assuming that all remote display environments are slow.
