VNC MacOS – How to Send Option/Alt Key Press from Windows

keyboard-layoutmacosvnc

I recently started using a mac running Leopard Server remotely at work, using the RealVNC client to connect from my Windows XP workstation via the Leopard VNC server.

As I need to do a fair amount of editing, I would like to have the keys mapped to the same positions as the macs I have been using for a long time. The Ctrl key works as Ctrl, and the Alt key works as Cmd, which is good, but I have had no success getting the Windows logo key to work as Option/Alt. It's seriously affecting my productivity in XCode and Terminal.

Has anybody with the same setup solved this question, either by configuring Windows and/or the VNC client, or otherwise?

Problem existed as of synergy 1.3.4; was resolved after upgrading client (running on the Mac-side) to 1.3.6p2.
