I have a temporary workaround for US English keyboard. I don't know if
it will work for any other keyboard settings but you might try and
report back.
1) Open gconf editor in a terminal:
$gconf-editor
obviously if you are trying to do this with a messed up terminal, you
won't be able to. The fix for that is to enable gconf editor by right
clicking on Applications > Edit Menus and enabling "Configuration
Editor" under "System Tools" then you can do everything with mouse
clicks
2) navigate to desktop > gnome > peripherals > keyboard > kbd
3) find the key name "layouts" and double click it. This will bring up
an "Edit Key" window. Click on add, then type any two characters and
click "OK".
Note: it seems that any two characters will work, so what you type
shouldn't matter
4) Close out of gconf editor, and then kill and restart your vnc
session. You should now see expected characters when you type. You may
see an ugly error screen that KBD has failed, but this does not seem to
affect anything.
Good luck, this worked for me, hope it works on non US character sets as
well
Cheers,
Will
