How to prevent question mark cursor issue cause be Insert key when doing VNC to a mac?

I found out that when I press the Insert key on the client I will block the OS X VNC server by putting it in a "help mode" where you get the question mark mouse cursor.

"This is fixed for me using Vine Server 4.01 on mac side and UltraVNC viewer 1.1.9.1 on windows side.

Default settings on server side produce the bug (very annoying).

To fix, open Vine Server preferences, Advanced tab, change Keyboard Events to User Session Events.

Happily using Ctrl+Ins/Shift+Ins for copy/paste in xcode now.

Note: this will likely break any keyboard remapper you have that relies on hardware events."
