Key event translation issue with qemu vnc server

[simmons]

Dennis has reported the following issue:

I wanted to give you a heads-up about an issue with the VM's console that I'm using (Ubuntu/kvm/qemu): upper case is inconsistent, and some characters don't get interpreted properly. After snooping the protocol and using Valence with other servers, I believe that you're doing the right thing, so this isn't your problem, but others may run across it and complain to you about it.

The precise symptoms are that ? is seen as /, _ is seen as -, and alphabetics lower than G are never upper case. There are probably others, as well.
