    I am having this same issue. Works fine in 13.10, but 14.04 gives me the issue.

    I fixed this from information I found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...c4/+bug/658723. Specifically, what I did was go to the physical machine that I was VNC'ing to, open dconf-editor, and search for "keybind" (since I was at the physical machine I had no problem typing the "d"). This enabled me to find org->gnome->desktop->wm->keybindings. In the right pane for org->gnome->desktop->wm->keybindings, I then looked for all settings that included <Super> and deleted those settings. I then killed my VNC server, started it again, and connected with RealVNC (my usual client from Windows). No unwanted behavior typing "d" or "s" (or anything else) now!

    I think this will implement removal of all "Super" key bindings for all vncserver instances site-wide.
    [i.e. all those problems with "s", "m", "h", etc. that get in the way of vnc client applications]

    Code:
    # /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/10-nosuperkey-settings
    #
    # This file is a site config file to disable "Super/Windows" key bindings
    # so that vnc clients can operate properly.
    #
    # use "dconf update" to incorporate into db the first time
    #
    
    [org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings]
