A workaround works (from 
http://mark-dudley.blogspot.com/2009/05/tightvnc-keyboard-mapping-problem-in.html)
disable the keyboard plugin of the gnome-settings-daemon using gconf-editor:
/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/keyboard
set active to False.

Obviously if you are trying to do this with a messed up terminal, you won't be 
able to. The fix for that is to enable gconf editor by right clicking on 
Applications > Edit Menus and enabling "Configuration Editor" under "System 
Tools" then you can do everything with mouse clicks
