Hello again,
The source of the problem was finally found. VNC server was being invoked with
XKEYSYMDB variable being set to "/usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB", it should of been set
to "/usr/openwin/lib/XKeysymDB". Once the correct path is used, then all of the
keyboard and mouse related problems that I had been experiencing disappears.
My ~/.vnc/xstartup file looks like now:
#!/bin/sh
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
set XKEYSYMDB /usr/openwin/lib/XKeysymDB
/usr/dt/bin/Xsession&
