I can't reproduce the issue.  If I add, for example:

Host my_fake_server_name
  HostName {my_server_ip_address_or_real_server_name}
  User drc

to ~/.ssh/config, then executing

  /opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncviewer -via my_fake_server_name localhost:{my_display_number}

works as expected.  Can you post the relevant entry from your ~/.ssh/config file?  Perhaps there is a bug that I'm not encountering for some reason.

I started testing TurboVNC on OL8 this weekend.  Immediately I noticed it seem to start up gnome exclusively,  Hoiw can I get it to start MATE or Xfce? I did this readily with TigerVNC and ~/.vnc/xstartup but TurboVNC seems to use a different approach. Even a link to some documentation would be appreciated.

Also when I try to connect using the version of vncviewer included.

/opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncviewer -via uek8desktop01 localhost:1001

I get the error:

Could not create SSH tunnel
java net.UnknownHostException uek8desktop01

I am guessing this is because TurboVNC's vncviewer does not use ~/.ssh/config file to expand the alias.  The TigerVNC version connects as expected which is how I know that TurboVNC is starting up Gnome

I am using version 2.2.6-20210221 from the yum repo.
