Start an "xev" and type in it - it should report key information.

Have you tried bouncing on the modifier keys. I have had vncviewers not
send the "up" key transition of a modifier if it happens outside the
viewer focus (eg, hold down Alt, move out of viewer, release - the Xvnc
behind still believes Alt is  held down). Xev will show this, and
bouncing on the modifier keys (Alt, Shift, Ctrl, etc) in the viewer can
reset the state.

It should like the server thinks you're typing Alt-C, etc or something
of that flavour.

Cheers,
