[Benjamin GRASSART <benjamin.grassart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

Property vnc_keymap is properly handled by KVM compute but not managed
at all by vmware compute.

As a consequence, the corresponding property in vmx file
"RemoteDisplay.vnc.keyMap" is never set and whatever we put in
"vnc_keymap" option we will have an english (en-us) keyboard.

My solution (tag 2014.1.4 and higher): 
Override function ./nova/virt/vmwareapi/vm_util.py:get_vnc_config_spec(client_factory, port)
with: 

def get_vnc_config_spec(client_factory, port):
    """Builds the super vnc config spec.

    Add vnc keymap management.
    """
    virtual_machine_config_spec = client_factory.create(
                                    'ns0:VirtualMachineConfigSpec')

    opt_enabled = client_factory.create('ns0:OptionValue')
    opt_enabled.key = "RemoteDisplay.vnc.enabled"
    opt_enabled.value = "true"
    opt_port = client_factory.create('ns0:OptionValue')
    opt_port.key = "RemoteDisplay.vnc.port"
    opt_port.value = port

    #  Patch start here
    opt_keymap = client_factory.create('ns0:OptionValue')
    opt_keymap.key = "RemoteDisplay.vnc.keyMap"
    opt_keymap.value = CONF.vnc_keymap
    # Patch end here

    extras = [opt_enabled, opt_port, opt_keymap]

    virtual_machine_config_spec.extraConfig = extras
    return virtual_machine_config_spec
