I've seen similar problems myself, but I don't use VNC with Windows 
anymore.  Since we moved to XP, I could never get it to work at all. 
Now, I occasionally use VNC from a Mac (Chicken of the VNC).  Back to 
your question, I've seen similar discussions on the xemacs-beta list, so 
you might want to check there.  Wild guess:  you can use xmodmap to map 
the keypress to the appropriate action.
