Sorry, I should have provided more info. It will only fix the issue for new guests: we use the connection instance to detect the qemu version, so we can decide whether to specify a keymap or not. Newer qemu and gtk-vnc can transparently handle it for us. To fix existing guests, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586201#c5 > There seem to be heeps of fixes in HG, would it make sense to release a > new minor versions to reduce the number of reports about things fixed > upstream?
