Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vino

  I'm pretty sure this started after an upgrade from Edgy to Feisty.

  VNC / Vino no longer works correctly.  The main alphanumeric keys map
  from the client to the server OK (so if I press A on the client
  keyboard A appears on the VNC screen in whatever application I'm
  working in), but others do not.  For example:

  | (pipe) is interpreted by vino as ` (backquote)
  < and > are interpreted as z and x

  Other people seem to have a similar problem - see
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=382441

  I can't find any obvious configuration files to tweak.  Both client
  and server machines have UK keyboards (and Ubuntu is configured with
  UK keyboard layout).  The client machine is Win98 running realvnc
  3.3.6 but I've just tried 4.1.2 and that doesn't fix it.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  James.
