Probably no one has tried it yet. Most large-scale TurboVNC deployments are
using either an older distro with GNOME 2 or KDE 4, or they're using MATE.
Please file a GitHub issue with your observations, and I'll look into it.
Unfortunately, GNOME and KDE both have moved in the direction of flash over
substance, and it doesn't surprise me that the newer Plasma releases are
requiring OpenGL like GNOME 3 does. Hopefully it's a relatively simple fix
within VGL. Otherwise, if it's more than a few hours, it will probably have to
be approached as a funded development project.

What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you? Monitors network bandwidth and traffic
patterns at an interface-level. Reveals which users, apps, and protocols are
consuming the most bandwidth. Provides multi-vendor support for NetFlow,
J-Flow, sFlow and other flows. Make informed decisions using capacity planning
reports.http://sdm.link/zohodev2dev
