virt-manager tries to configure the guest keymap by mapping from the
keytable in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard, to the keymaps available in
QEMU. Check the running 'qemu' process to verify that there is a
'-k' command line arg with the appropriate keymap set.
With a newer enough KVM, and new enough GTK-VNC there is a protocol
extension which passes raw scancodes across, avoiding this whole
keymap mess - just need to configure keymap in guest OS to match the
keyboard you use.
