I set up tightvncserver and all worked fine from home when I tested it last night. Today from my Macbook at work, though, odd keyboard mapping prevented using a VNC session.

A little searching online reveals that tightvncserver is apparently built with an old version of XFree. Removing tightvncserver and using vnc4server instead solved the problem.
