It depends on what the VNC client asks for too. With no '-k' arg, if the
VNC client asks for raw scancodes it'll get that, otherwise QEMU will
fallback to en-US.    GTK-VNC based clients (remote-viewer, virt-viewer,
vinagre, virt-manager, GNOME boxes) use the raw scancodes. Most other
clients do not.
