Description Christian Lohmaier 2016-06-22 23:23:20 CEST 
https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/commit/dab29806879a72d84b88d936f9ac46db38f0ab57

is the fix, please apply :-)

to test: 
* configure keyboard mapping in advanced configuration of a VNC configuration
* connect to the remote host and check whether super (typically assigned to the "windows" key) actually behaves as meta (=option when connection to Mac OS X)/is different compared to without the keyboard mapping setting

Alternative workarounds require messing with systemwide installed files (modifying /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev) and altering the general keyboard layout to have a dedicated meta key. (like in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96642 )

Comment 3 Christian Lohmaier 2016-07-08 17:22:34 CEST 
I did my own package using the fix, so yes, it does work for me.
Comment 4 David GEIGER 2016-07-08 18:06:43 CEST 
Thanks!

Assigning to QA,

 
Advisory:
========================

A typo in preference name was found and broke key mapping in VNC: 
The keyboard mapping preference is stored under the name "keymap", but
looked up by "gkeymap", which was always null. The "Map Meta"
preference now works perfectly for me to connect to OS X.
So this update fixes this issue.
