Public bug reported:
Configuration:
1) Desktop: Kubuntu 8.10, x86 and x64 tested. Krfb used to allow VNC access.
2) Remote system... I used several systems (Debian Linux and Nokia n800, both
are UTF-8 aware and can enter text in Russian). Other people attempted to use
MacOS X and it's default VNC - without any success, too.
All systems are configured to allow input on two locales - English and Russian.
Locally all works fine on all systems - both languages can be used anywhere.
To reproduce:
1) Connect from remote host capable of two keyboard layouts to Kubuntu host
using VNC.
2) Try to enter text on Russian (maybe other non-English locales containing
non-English letters will work as well).
3) Compare text which is appears on Kubuntu with text you've actually entered.
Result:
I'm entering Russian text. This fails, text appears as some English letters,
conversion principle is unknown to me. This is unacceptable and annoying
(sometimes there is need to type something non-english on remote hosts).
Expected result:
Text appears on remote host as it was entered on remote host. I.e. Russian
(Cyrillic) letters are actually Cyrillic and not getting converted into useless
English letters.
Note:
Connection from same hosts to Debian host running Gnome and it's VNC server
allows to enter Russian letters without prob's. So it appears to be just some
krfb or KDE specific bug or Kubuntu specific bug. I will perform tests on
Ubuntu later as well to see if bug exists here.
