Summary: KRDC sends wrong keystrokes when is connected by rdp to Win

Initial Comment:
As seems KDRC has some odd keyboard layout eg.: 
I press "0" button result is 0e (if Win 2003 has EN layout) an ée (for CS)
Similarly  "8" button => 8a (EN), áa (CS)
There are a lot of other problems. I tried to change Keyboard layout in Host
Configuration but without result. Outside KRDC I have no problem with keyboard.
At this state I can't use KRDC at all ;?(

Based on Urs Wolfer's advice (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238397#c2) it was tested from konsole with the same result.

Message:
I rebuilt the ubuntu package from the trunk branch in SVN and all the keys
work now :) Disregard my preceding comment. I can't speak for the
reporter's problem, but mine is solved.

Message:
I think I have the same problem, but it may just be a similar one. I'm
using the programmer-dvorak layout in gnome, but any keystrokes sent by the
number keys come out wrong in a remote windows session. I presume this is
because programmer-dvorak pairs the shifted characters differently from
qwerty (e.g, shift+'&' = '%' on the qwerty '1' key).

My problem is a regression. It might be in one of the libs rdesktop
depends on, but anyway, I'm certain this worked correctly before I upgraded
some .deb packages that included rdesktop. I was able to fix this once by
downgrading some packages. I will try to find the package versions where
this is broken/fixed and post another comment here if I succeed.
