@Juha Aatrokoski: I am aware of your bug report, but I was completely
confused after I read it, especially with "0=}" things.

Do I undestand correctly that you connect with VNC to some computer,
and then run there rdesktop?
Can you reproduce this bug if you run rdesktop locally, without VNC?
Do you run rdesktop with -y key, or without it?

And about the part which I don't understand completely: when you press
zero, shouldn't it send zero keycode to windows remote desktop? You
say that with a finnish keymap the '0' key should produce "0=}". What
do you mean?

Also, do I understand correctly that you have two keyboard layouts,
Finnish and English on the machine you work physically, the same
layouts on the machine you connect to with VNC, and the same two on
the Windows machine you work on with rdesktop? If so, you should have
8 combinations of layouts (En -> En -> En, Fi -> En -> En, En -> Fi ->
En, Fi -> Fi -> En, and so on). Does this bug reproduce on each
combination, or only on several ones?
