VNC with keyboard

For the people having problems with the keyboard input via VNC:

- the ufbvncd daemon must be started before the Java framework for keyboard input to work, otherwise the VNC connection will not provide any input to the appication
- if the file ENABLE_VNC is present on the exported USB root, then the VNC daemon should start before the framework
- if the /usr/sbin/ufbvncd is started manually (say via ssh), then after starting it, run /etc/init.d/framework restart

The keys are mapped in a weird way, but it should be easy to find all of them by probing.
