Bug Description

If I connect to vino (using UltraVNC client from Windows), any Shift+Function key press is received as the plain function key (no shift). This breaks my application which uses separate actions for F12 vs Shift+F12.

I experimented with xev, and it prints a KeyRelease event for the shift key before the KeyPress for the function key.

All function keys F1 through F12 are affected.
