Bug Description
Hi, The F1 key is linked to the help and the F9 key is the shortcut for the bookmark, so if I need the F1 or F9 key on the remote desktop it's impossible to use them. It must be possible to link all the keys to the remote computer.
using Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 with Vinagre 0.5.1
Thanks :)

Probably the best thing would be to use a popup like vncviewer; in vncviewer, hitting F8 pops up a menu with the various settings, including an option to send F8. Furthermore, F8 is vncviewer's *only* keyboard shortcut, AFAIK.
A VNC client is a bit like a terminal app. Its job is to stay out of your way so you can forget it exists. Just like gnome-terminal needs no chrome (no menubar, no scrollbar, no statusbar, etc.), a VNC viewer should have the bare minimum chrome (except for an F8 menu or equivalent and a way to connect) so that it stays out of the way.
