Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10
Package: x11vnc 0.9.12-1build1

After upgrading to 11.10 there is a strange bug/problem in running x11vnc VNC session. CTRL keyboard sticks after changing keyboard layout with ctrl+shift (from US to RU for example). This ctrl "stickness" persists even for X session on the machine with the vnc server. Second ctrl press revokes a "sticking". Here is a start command for x11vnc (with keyboard debug):

x11vnc -debug_keyboard -xkb -repeat -scale 4/5 -bg -speeds dsl -nolookup -ncache 0 -solid -display :0 -many
-rfbauth ~/.vnc/passwd -desktop "VNC ${USER}@${HOSTNAME}" -allow 192.168.200. |grep -Eo "[0-9]{4}">~/.vnc/port.txt

Tried with different vnc clients and have the same issue.

Attached is x11vnc log for the following key sequence pressed:

"crtl+shift", "a", "s", "d", "f", ctrl, "a", "s", "d", "f"
