Summary: keyboard mapping problem with non US keyboard

Initial Comment:
Hello,

I have keyboard mapping problem.

Both Macintoshes have french keyboard, and configured with it, and with french language as main language.
When using Chicken of the VNC, I have to immagine the US mapping on my french keyboard to enter text.

Maybe it's good for neurons, but not very convenient!!!

Best regards,
Christian

Same problem her with german keyboard mapping. 
If cotvnc at least would use the english mapping - but the actual key
mappings are rather arbitrary.

 I have seen key mapping problems when connecting to laptops which have
Japanese keyboards from machines with US keyboards (been meaning to report
it for a while). The letter keys behave as expected, but the number keys
1-0 do not correspond to 1-0: some keys give numbers other than the key
caps number meaning that one can never enter certain numbers. Similarly for
the punctuation characters.

 This is a particularly nasty problem if your password contains numbers
and/or punctuation characters, as passwords are never echoed.
