    It looks like this replaces the yen sign with the backslash symbol. Is this the correct behavior? If so, let's commit this one.

    Hi, smeger

    As far as I tested, this seems the correct behavior.
    When the VNC server is running on Linux or Windows, everything works well.
    (I checked above with realVNC Server 4.0 on Windows XP SP2 and realVNC Server 4.1.2 on Debian GNU Linux)

    However, I noticed that when I use with VNC server implemented in Apple Remote Desktop 3.1, I cannot '(single quote) and =(equal) and `(backquote) when I am using Japanese JIS keyboard. Those are changed to "(double quote) and +(plus) and ~(tilde), respectively.
    I believe this is a bug of Apple's Remote Desktop since this also happens when the client is VNC client 4.0 on Windows.

    I am not sure whether the yen sign is used on other language keyboards.

    By the way, how do I commit this one? Or, what should I do for it?
    I am not familiar with source forge.
