Bug Description

I'm running xvnc4viewer on Ubuntu to connect to a Windows 7 VM inside qemu-kvm running under Lucid 64.

When I connect from the Lucid machine to the VM running locally, CTRL-C/V for cut/paste work, as do many other keyboard shortcuts using the CTRL modifier. IIRC, I also ran Lucid on a laptop and connected to the VM across the network, and the CTRL modifier worked OK there too.

If I connect from a Maverick machine to the same VM across the network, no keyboard shortcut using CTRL works. Shift appears OK; I can select multiple items.

Using gvncviewer from the Maverick machine to the VM works, so it's only xvnc4viewer that fails. Unfortunately, cut/paste buffer sharing doesn't work in gvncviewer:-(
