I doubt if what I have will help.  It is from F14 or F15 I think.

I start x11vnc as a user, not as root.  I think you start x11vnc as root.

sewill at localhost:~/.vnc <3:3> $ more xstartup
#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &
rsewill at localhost:~/.vnc <3:4> $

rsewill at localhost:~/.vnc <3:4> $ ls
certs  passwd  xstartup
rsewill at localhost:~/.vnc <3:5> $

rsewill at localhost:~ <3:7> $ more .x11vncrc
quiet
bg
usepw
allow 192.168.1.
# ssl
forever
avahi
# gui tray
rsewill at localhost:~ <3:8> $

I also needed to enable vncserver in the KDE settings tab, firewalld
