Bug Description
Debian is dropping support for xvnc4viewer (and xtightvnc) in the upcoming stretch release, and tigervnc-viewer appears to be *nearly* compatible with it as a replacement.
The attached patch gets this mostly working, but the xtigervncviewer processes don't response to the kill signal passed in stopTerminal (e.g. client -> broadcasts -> stop broadcasts). They also don't respond to manually killing the pid as root, even with "kill -9"...
the first monitor/assist work fine, but subsequent attempts require exiting the epoptes gui.
Broadcast windowed mode works, but broadcast fullscreen doesn't appear to work.
Using ssvnc might be an alternate option, but has a recommends on "default-jre | java5-runtime" packages, which pulls in quite a few packages, at least in Debian.

Thanks for reporting this Vagrant!
Maybe it is a good chance to have a look at gtk-vnc.
