Normally, Xvnc is run by the "vncserver" Perl script which can be edited
to customize Xvnc startup options. Open that script in a text editor and
locate a line like this:

  $cmd .= " -httpd $vncClasses";

Then, comment it out by adding an "#" character in the beginning:

  # $cmd .= " -httpd $vncClasses";
