No, all OSs involved here (the guest OS, the host OS and the Client OS)
think, they use the german layout. There is no change in keyboard layout
configuration. Fact is, I get the characters in this table (hope you can
read this table format):
| Key pressed on keyboard | character appearing in VM |
| zZ | yY |
| & | / |
| ( | ) |
| * | ( |
| \ | # |
| > | : |
| + | ` |
| # | § |
| - | ß |

| / | - |
| ) | = |
| = | ' |
| ? | _ |
| ' | ä |
| _ | ? |
| : | Ö |
| ; | ö |
| { | Ü |
| [ | ü |
| ] | + |
| } | * |
| \ | # |
| ~ | ° |
| @ | " |
| yY | zZ |
Keep in mind to search these keys on a german keyboard! For some of them
Shift or AltGr has to be hit additionally. Some keys (like Ä e.g.) normally
providing a character do nothing in the VM.

The VM runs in a window managed by the window manager of the host.

I found this file, but I never did any changes to it. It is in its original
state like created by TurboVNC. And it is older than the installation of
VirtualBox and the VM. It is attached here.
