I've been looking for a fix for days and you just solved it! Thank you very much @AlexZeitler. If anyone reads this, this fix works with vnc4server in Google Cloud Platform compute instances.
Thank you, Alex. I had practically given up on using Atom on my Ubuntu VM!
It helps me as well! Thank you very much, Alex.
I was able to get this to work however my atom install was /opt/atom. Ubuntu 16.04
