Hence it's no vnc problem but a more general X11 problem. I will point a
route to a solution.

Every X11 server should be configured with the proper keyboard settings.
generally this is done with xmodmap.

On a running system, you can twiggle/play with the keyboard settings with
the applciation xkeycaps. You can find that on your favorite ftp site. Once
you have the keyboard settings as you like, it can genereate a proper
xmodmap file. You can feed it to every Xserver, including Xvnc. See the
xkeycaps and xmodmap documentation for details.

For eXceed, have a look at the manual and the configuration tools, there you
can solve your problems.
