Check the running 'qemu' process to verify that there is a '-k' command line arg with the appropriate keymap set. With a newer enough KVM, and new enough GTK-VNC there is a protocol extension which passes raw scancodes across, avoiding this whole keymap mess - just need to configure keymap in guest OS to match the keyboard you use.
