I cannot input »=« in vinagre either. Some special signs are the same
and some different than in virt-viewer though, i. e. some are displayed
as a square which have not been displayed in virt-manager for example.

I could not find where virt-manager stores the call.

I looked in the preferences and only found a keymap thing for the
graphics/VNC. I also did

$ sudo virsh dumpxml debian > guest.xml

and found the following line.

<graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' keymap='de'/>


So it seems to be a QEMU bug. I therefore reassign. I thought it might
be fixed with 0.10.3 because of this in changelog.gz

  - Fix keyboard mapping on newer Xords with non-default keymaps
(balrog)

but I can still reproduce this.


Thanks,

Paul
