Did you ever try tapping those keys on the viewer end, instead of walking down to the server room to do it? It is a known problem...sometimes a key-down event gets sent, and the key-up event gets lost. (I've seen some versions of windows do this *at the console*, without VNC loaded, before, so it may not even be entirely a VNC bug.)

I have convinced myself that it has something to do with the server machine "thinking" that the CTRL or ALT or SHIFT key is being held down. I've speculated that the KVM (keyboard-video-mouse) switch I have connected had something to contribute to it. When it has happened to me, I've walked down the hall to the server room, tapped these keys (left and right) then walked back to my office to find that I now can use the viewer keyboard. I also have some vague recollection of starting and restarting the VNC Server service clearing the problem, but I am less sure of this one.
