remote keyboard shift key not working

Trinity Release 3.5.13.1 Remote (vnc) keyboard shift key does not work. Specifically, when connected to Trinity krfb from any remote vnc client, the shift key does not work, except with the 9 (nine) 0 (zero) and , (comma) keys. This renders remote vnc sessions nearly useless. The bug that I am seeing appears to be identical to that described in this debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=595283 See also the referenced kde bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182073 What are the chances that this can be fixed in Trinity? -Mike, happy Trinity user, except when connected remotely
