Yes, and probably yes. Old versions of VNC misbehaved when there were more
than 2 keysyms per key. In addition, if you are using keycodes in your
xmodmap ('keycode 1234 =') then this is not portable (keycodes will differ
between VNC and the machine's native X server). Use 'keysym' instead (e.g.
'keysym Alt_R = Mode_switch').
I am sure that removing the xmodmap will fix the problem. I do not know if you
can fix your xmodmap to work with VNC, though. (Adding -display $DISPLAY to
the xmodmap options, by the way, will have absolutely no effect.)
What version of VNC are you running again?
