Bug Description
The F8 key is used in xvncviewer to change settings including getting out of
fullscreen mode. Once in this mode the user is stuck in the session because F8
no longer does anything.

Confirmed in Ubuntu 5.04.
My experience is a little different - when first entering fullscreen mode, the
keyboard has focus in the fullscreen window. I can hit 'F8' and the vncviewer
menu pops up the first time. If I click fullscreen twice, the keyboard no longer
has focus on the fullscreen vnc window, and anything I type goes to the terminal
I started vncviewer from. Hitting CTRL-C kills the vnc process since focus is in
the original window. I have found no way to get the focus back to the full
screen vncviewer.
Please up the severity to major - this is a nasty issue for the non-technical
user who doesn't know how to work around it.
I will test breezy once it is testable again ;)
