When access to a Xen DomU (Linux) from a VNC client in Windows, alt-gr key is not working properly. When Alt + another key pressed, vncserver receives Altgr down, Altgr up and key down messages in order, that causes incorrect output.
With following patch, when vncerver receives key down message, it first check if the keysym needs altgr modifer, if it needs altgr modifier but altgr is not 'down', sending altgr keycode before sending key keycode.
