Interesting. Sounds like it's a problem on the Vaio - that's a Windows
based viewer, right?

All I can suggest at this point is to look at keyboard settings on the
Vaio. Unfortunately, I don't know much about such things in Windows. I
do know that the VNC viewer takes the keystrokes and sends them as key
events - using, as I recall, the X keysym values.

It would be interesting to see what the viewer is actually sending for
the keypresses; any ethernet monitoring tool (or proxy) would work, as
well as a hacked VNC server or proxy (rfbproxy).

Other that that, I'm afraid I can't help much more - I'm more of an X
expert than a Windows expert.
