Here is a patch that resolves the issue for me. This patch is WRONG and
hence I have not added the patch tag. The fix should be applied
somewhere else, but given my limited time and understanding of vino's
binding system, it's the best I can do at the moment.
This issue points out to me that something about how vino constructs its
binding maps is inherently wrong. It appears that the maps are
constructed so that if a keystroke is "no different" whether shift is
pressed or not, vino will send a shift-release event, then the actual
key event, then a shift-press event. Obviously, the logic it uses to
determine if two keystrokes are different based only on their shift
states is borked.
