What do you need from me to help?

Actually I have my UK keyboard set to US - and use Alt-# to generate £

As for Shift
For Chicken of VNC - trying just a shift key I get

KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001,
     root 0x27d, subw 0x0, time 894124015, (-4,-173), root:(134,262),
     state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES,
     XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
     XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
     XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001,

The press and release events are clearly tied to the keypresses.

For Shift Z - I get

KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001,
     root 0x27d, subw 0x0, time 894285604, (72,168), root:(210,603),

For Screen Sharing.app - I get events in the incorrect order shown by  
my previous postings.

This is to the same instance of xev running on the same remote machine.
