Uh, I started up Xvnc many times before, but I noticed something very wierd. It seems that I may have a keymapping problem somewhere.
I am able to type in uppercased A-Z, but I am unable to type in letters such as bcdipvxz

Is there something I can check to see what is going on?
Ok, a little more tidbit...
I created a new user for testing, and it appears to work with all of the letters. I checked and compared the .vnc directoies with the two users and there is nothing different. I checked to see if I had any .Xresources or .XDefaults files and all there is is the .Xauthority.
Perhaps there is a file somewhere in .gnome or something that is allowing exalle mapping keys to take over if that is the problem or maybe a symptom of something else?
Can anyone help here?

Start an "xev" and type in it - it should report key information.
Have you tried bouncing on the modifier keys. I have had vncviewers not send the "up" key transition of a modifier if it happens outside the viewer focus (eg, hold down Alt, move out of viewer, release - the Xvnc behind still believes Alt is held down). Xev will show this, and bouncing on the modifier keys (Alt, Shift, Ctrl, etc) in the viewer can reset the state.
It should like the server thinks you're typing Alt-C, etc or something of that flavour.
Cheers,
