vnc keymap breaks non-us layouts

[Michael Schnupp]

Binary package hint: virt-manager

I use the dvorak keyboard layout.
After creating a guest with virt-manager and configuring the guest to use dvorak, too, I get a completely weird layout when accessing the guest through vnc. It actually applies the us->dvorak permutation twice, rendering keyboard input essentially unusable.

When creating a guest, virt-manager adds "keymap='en-us'" to the created vnc option.
This way it interprets the dvorak input as standard en-us and the guest has no chance to get it right.

Please simply leave that keymap option out. This way the client simply gets the correct scancode and can decide on its own what to do.

This should be fixed in lucid now.
