I found some odd behaviour.  I have this problem if I run vncviewer
normally from my workstation.

Last night I ssh'ed from my home machine which runs fedora core 1 to
my work machine which is running fedora core bleeding edge.  From the
bleeding edge machine, I ran vncviewer.  I was shocked that control
characters worked as expected!

But, this doesn't work if ssh from the bleeding edge desktop, and pop
up a VNC viewer.  Nor does it work if I just pop up a vncviewer from
the bleeding edge desktop.

As I mentionned before, this also affects Xnest (is why I clasified it
as an X11 bug).

Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major
updates to the X Window System, which may resolve this issue.  Users
who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the
latest version of Fedora Core, which can be obtained from:

        http://fedora.redhat.com/download

If this issue turns out to still be reproduceable in the latest
version of Fedora Core, please file a bug report in the X.Org
bugzilla located at http://bugs.freedesktop.org in the "xorg"
component.

Once you've filed your bug report to X.Org, if you paste the new
bug URL here, Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the
centralized X.Org bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that
become available for consideration in future updates.

Comment 4 Mike A. Harris 2004-10-12 15:24:48 UTC

Thanks for the X.Org bug number.  We'll track this in the X.Org
bug tracker now, and review any fixes which become available
