Package: libgtk-vnc-2.0-0
Version: 0.5.1-1
Severity: normal
Usertags: pca.it-virtualization

Hi there!

The Ctrl-left key on my ThinkPad X60 is broken, thus I re-mapped it to
CapsLock in /etc/default/keyboard, see:

  <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=621835#83>

However, virt-viewer does not like it and it obliges me to use the
broken Ctrl-left key.  The same happens with gvncviewer, thus reported
it to libgtk-vnc ;-)

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

Sorry for the late reply. As far as I understand Gtk-VNC it uses the
"hardware keycode" so the remapping will pass unnoticed (see
./src/vncdisplaykeymap_xorgevdev2rfb.c). Does it work if you remap in
the VM?
Cheers,
