Try.
It is a bug reported at #108928 and duplicated at #112955. Appears more like a GNOME issue than a VNC issue.
Solution #1: Use vnc4server -extension XFIXES
No, I did not try this because I simply do not want to change my client. The workaround basically requires you to remove tightvncserver and use vnc4server instead. Refer to this and this for more information.
Solution #2: Avoid executing gnome-session
Instead of running gnome-session, run the following commands in your xstartup script or manually in xterm:
gnome-wm &
gnome-panel &
gnome-cups-icon &
gnome-volume-manager &
Suggested by Randy at this link.
Solution #3: Reset the keyboard layout via gconf-editor
This solution works the best in my opinion, suggested by Will at this link. Open up gconf-editor in your X then navigate to:
desktop > gnome > peripherals > keyboard > kbd
You will probably be seeing empty value [] or [us] for the layouts. Enter anything say foo, close the application and your problem should now be fixed.
- yc, one problem in life down

Re Solution #3: You can perform the same setting without the graphical gconf-editor using the following command (e.g. via SSH):
gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts --type List --list-type String [aa]
The command-line version did it for me. Thanks guys.
Is there a proper fix for this in some distro somewhere.
Thanks for documenting this - it enabled me to use gnome-session in my Ubuntu Feisty again. However, whenever I kick up the keyboard settings again, it happens all over again, and I still can't set it to accept my Mac keyboard properly, you got any ideas?
Perhaps you can try this:
1. edit your $HOME/.vnc/xstartup
2. put the line "export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1" before your gnome-session.
3. restart vncserver.
and lo, it works :).

This post solved my problem too. Thanks!
put the line "export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1" before your gnome-session. is an great tip, thanks.
Ditto on using "export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1". Worked like a charm, and is really easy.
Yeah!! Adding the "export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1" worked - thanks!
Thank You dcatdemon!
just put the line "export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1" solved for me!
The solution of export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1 worked for me to. In fact I am typing this on my properly mapped VNC right now. Thank you!!
I am using Ubuntu 9.04. putting "export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1" in $HOME/.vnc/xstartup
works great. Thanks dcatdemon
# in .vnc/xstartup
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1 # the fix
gnome-session &
Works in ubuntu 9.10 (headless) too. Thanks for the tip.

export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1 worked for me - brilliant! thanks
YES! Adding the "export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1" worked - thanks!
# in .vnc/xstartup

Excellent worked for me too :)
It works to me too!!! Thanks a lot
:-)
Good for macports tightvnc on Mac OS X 10.6.2 to Debian Lenny, too. Thanks!
me too! thanks.
After incorporating the suggested change i was still facing problem with small 's' and small 'm'. I removed mail and shutdown symbol or shortcuts from right side top corner of the panel and then every thing was working as expected ...
thanks for the help Yuen-Chi Lian ...
Solution 2# worked magic for me after a whole week of stress. I owe this forum a bunch. Thanks
