No clue what's happening with your CentOS 6 machine.  CentOS 6 was
actively used in multiple large TurboVNC installations until it became
EOL, and no one ever reported any problems like this during the years in
which it was used.  I personally used CentOS 6 on my primary development
machine, which has an nVidia GPU, until a couple of years ago.  I still
have a CentOS 6 machine with an AMD GPU that I use for VirtualGL testing
(because the old AMD Catalyst drivers won't run on any newer O/S.)  I've
never had any problems using GNOME 2 with TurboVNC on any of those machines.

Referring to our support policy:

https://turbovnc.org/Documentation/OSSupport

I no longer provide free support for CentOS 6, since it is no longer
receiving public updates.  I still test that operating system, so it
*should* work, but if it doesn't, someone else will have to figure out
why or pay for my labor to figure that out.  I do recommend that you
migrate to the vault.centos.org repository URLs so you can do a 'yum
update' and install the latest TurboVNC Server on that machine.  Then
you should 'rm ~/.vnc/xstartup.turbovnc' and let the server re-create it.

Perhaps dbus-launch on CentOS 6 doesn't like --exit-with-x11.  You might
try --exit-with-session instead.
