Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2008-01-03 15:36:47 CET 
When pressing Alt+PrtScr, the programs on the Xvnc side will see this as Shift+Alt+SysRq. This is a bit annoying since by default both KDE and GNOME use Alt+PrtScr to get a screen shot of the current application.

Red Hat had a similar problem they patched manually. Perhaps their bug entry can be helpful:

No longer a problem in the current code.
Comment 3 Peter Åstrand cendio 2013-05-20 14:39:48 CEST 
Our keyboard handling seems to be correct. Running xev in the remote session indicates that Alt+PrintScreen is coming through fine. However, I don't actually get any print screen from GNOME, but this seems to be a GNOME bug:
