I disagree for three reasons:

1) The GUI offers the option to be able to redefine keys. As long as the
option is there, it's a bug for it to not work.

2) Redefining keys is a standard part of GTK (or Gnome--I'm not sure
which). It's a handy feature that works everywhere else I've tried it. I
know that Gnome delights in removing useful features in the name of
simplification, but doing so is a Bad Thing.

3) I don't see how it's possible to design a full-featured VNC client
without at least one keyboard shortcut. Once you switch to fullscreen,
you have to have some way to get back out. Adding a button to switch
back to normal mode would either potentially get in the way or require a
VNC toolbar or something, which would break the fullscreen. Vncviewer
handled this situation well. If you hit F8, it would pop up a menu. One
of the items on that menu was one to send F8 to the remote machine.
(There are many thing that vncviewer does wrong, but this isn't one of
them.)
