Bug Description

Binary package hint: vino

I have some troubles when i use my remote computer via vino. When i connect from linux with vncviewer, all fine, but if i connect from windows (i try tightvnc-1.2.9 and vnc-3.3.7-x86_win32) i can't switch keyboard layout. i try set ctrl+alt to switch and other methods. If add to panel layout monitor, and try switch layout, monitor say - layout chnged, but if i enter letters... anywere... i have only english. Sometimes if i press Shift+letter i have russian letter, but it not correct.

When i use my remote computer via vnc, and then go home and use it interactivelly, NUM keys don't work. And i should reboot my system to enable num keys.
