Bug#808801: kate: keyboard mapping shot when running under VNC

[Thorsten Glaser]

Package: kate
Version: 4:15.08.3-1
Severity: important

I’m doing a VNC connection to localhost (“vncviewer :2”)
then start kate and begin to type “asd”. The text edit
window shows “abf”.

This is the same behaviour ARAnyM has under VNC, but t̲h̲a̲t̲’s
an SDL application, while I’d expect KDE/Qt to be an X11
application.
