[xubuntu-users] x11vnc shift key problems

[Tim Henderson]

A google search did not help.

When logged into my comp using VNC via x11vnc server I have very limited 
shift usage.

Namely shift only "shifts" for ( ) and <.  All other shift usage results 
in the non-shifted character being displayed.

The output looks similar, however only a 'm' displays, rather than the 
expected 'M'.  Makes for difficulties entering passwords, :'s, ~'s, ect. 
  Anyone have a fix?
