OK, I did manage to get this working after filing the bug report.
I uninstalled the realVNCserver and then reinstalled it.
Following a reboot, I opened a terminal session, and ran sudo raspi-config.
Under the (5) Interfacing Options submenu, I selected (P3) VNC and enabled it by selecting YES
and then rebooted.
Alternately, under Application menu\Preference\Raspberry Pi Configuration you can bring up
a more graphical interface for making the same selection. Just select the Interfaces tab and then enable VNC.
After reboot, the VNC icon appears in the top task bar and a VNC Connect Server box pops up with Connectivity and Security information.
If you don't like the location of the VNC icon in the top menu bar, right click in the bar and select "Add/Remove
Panel Items". The list that comes up, not only shows what is available, but it also determines the order of the icons. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to change this order. You can see the immediate effect of your selections in the menu bar.
I added a display for the CPU temperature next to the Bluetooth icon, and slid the VNC icon to the left of the temperature display.
My VNC server does not come up on 10.10.10,1. This is different than what the OP manual describes.
Since my IP address is not static, when it changes, I have to find out what the new one is before I can use the Pi in headless mode.
I hope this helps someone else.
If anyone knows the answer to the 10.10.10.1 problem shout back.
