You have dead-keys on your M$Win-pc, where the viewer is running. It's this M$Win that twiggles with the keys.
Start->Settings->ControlPannel, there: Keyboard
Here add an input-language with a non-international keyboard (I use Dutch(nl) with an US-International keyboard and English(US) with an US keyboard layout) Be sure the keyboard layout somehow resembles your keyboard...
Optionally twiggle the default, define some hotkeys (default will do) and Enable the indicator on the taskbar.
Now (at least on my W2K machine) I can set the keyboard locale with every running application. Dutch(nl) for default and <left-alt><left-shift> with an active vncviewer window to remove the dead keys in that vnc session.
Success
