#1381 wrong keyboard mapping when remote connecting to Mac OS X

[Leonardo trevisan lombardi]

First Bug
When pressing the windows keyboard alt key, Mac OS X identifies it as the command key ( also represented by the ⌘ symbol) instead of identifing it as the Macaltkey ( also called option key, represented by the symbol ⌥).

Here is a mapping of the current behavour:
Windows alt-> Mac command ⌘
Windows window - > Mac command ⌘

As you can see, both Windows alt and window key are doing the same thing on Mac.
There is no key I can press to have the Mac alt⌥ key effect on Mac.
The rest of the keys behave as expected.

Second Bug
I have a non US keyboard.
When remote controlling the Mac from Windows, Mac receives my keystrokes as it was from an US Keyboard, messing everything up. Only the standard letters and numbers get sent corretly to the MAC.

As a workaround, I fake my keyboard mapping to windows, changing it to US Keyboard when using TightVNC and that way, the aproximate correct mapping happens on the Mac.

Both bugs are happening to other people. There are some stackoverflow questions about it.
