Some more test.
 - If I run LXDE instead of KDE in a vnc session, this problem did not
occurred.
 - If I run only kdeinit4 but not run startkde (default session is KDE, but
I just started X window and a vnc config dialog.  From the output of ps I
saw kdeinit4 was launched) this problem occurred.
 - It did not help if I run vncserver :0 .  So it's not a problem running
in :1, :2, ... etc.

Using LXDE and KDE 4.9.5 without problem makes me believe that it is a KDE
4.10 problem.
