What's "remote desktop" to do with VNC? I mean, if remote desktop
works for you, maybe you'd better stick to it.
On the other hand, make sure you're using the same logical
keyboard. By "logical keyboard", I mean for example, you can have a
physical German keyboard while the system considers it as a Spanish
keyboard.
One other thing to see: the keyboard of the VNC server computer has
no caps lock on. It's quite a hair-tearing situation when the server
keyboard has some locks while the client's hasn't.
