Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rdesktop

If rdesktop 1.6.0-2ubuntu1 is run under VNC (vnc4server or
tightvncserver) the keyboard mapping is broken: keys produce wrong
characters and modifiers may be ignored or assumed (e.g. with a finnish
keymap the '0' key should produce "0=}" with itself/shift/altgr, but it
produces "00", and the key to the right of it should produce "+?\" but
instead produces "??\"). This is caused by the patch
02_raw_keyboard_support.dpatch: if the rdesktop package is rebuilt
without that patch then the keyboard works fine under VNC.
