, we have a workaround...

Add  the line below in the $HOME/.vnc/xstartup , before the gnome-session 
startup
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1

Example:

# in .vnc/xstartup
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE
gnome-session &

As this is soo old (at least 4 years) and still isnt fixed, a permament
workaround should be addin to the gnome-sesson script a check like this:

if [ ! -z $VNCDESKOP ] ; then 
  XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
  export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE
fi

This should be put by default in gnome in ubuntu (and debian and gnome,
etc), as AFAIK, there is no side effects in VNC sessions

other solution is not to use gnome in vnc, but that seens stupid :)
