Can you determine exactly what resource file was causing the issue? If the TightVNC DEB is, for instance, installing a file called Vncviewer in the resources directory (typically /usr/share/X11/app-defaults), then TurboVNC is probably reading that.
The solution would be to change our resource name to something else, like Turbovncviewer instead of Vncviewer. It represents a minor backward compatibility break from previous releases, but people override the resources so rarely that I'm OK with that.
