Vnc is a rather stable application. Do you load  vnc.so or start 
vnc4server? If you log from diffrent computest you still see the problem 
? What keyboard settings do you have on server ?

(I seem to be replying to myself a lot lately -- bad sign.) May I ask
a favour? Can someone please try this? This is making Hoary unusable
for me.

On Hoary:
sudo apt-get install vncserver
vncserver

On another computer:
use a VNC viewer (I've tried Ultr at VNC, vncviewer, realvnc and
tightvnc) to connect to whatever vncserver said it created (probably
hostname:1).
Open a terminal or something.
Type.
What happens? Do you see garbage characters or what you typed?
