Great idea to use the debug mode. With Vinagre it is activated with the
following command [3]. (Option also listed by vinagre --help-all.)
$ vinagre --gtk-vnc-debug

Yeah. That is almost correct. I have to add that I use a different
layout NEO 2 [1], which claims to be optimized for the German language.
The xmodmap file [2] gets loaded with the following command.
setxkbmap lv && xmodmap neo_de.xmodmap
The equal-sign is located at the 3rd level and is entered with caps lock
+ o. (The o is the key on the QWERTZ/Y keyboard and it would be the f
with Neo 2.)
I get the following output.
### Caps lock alone ###
gtk-vnc: press keycode: 66 state: 0 group 0, keyval: 65406
gtk-vnc: Key event 65406 66 1 1gtk-vnc: release keycode: 66 state: 8192 group

So following Guido’s analysis it looks like = (keyval: 61) is sent
correctly. But it is not shown in the virtual machine.
Thanks,
Paul
