I have no problem with any other desktop software, only vbox and only thourgh the console of any guest (tried another illumos,
linux and freebsd). I read old posts talking about xmodmap or keymaps, but that is pure madness...
What I can say, is that the hosting XStreamOS Desktop machine is installed with Italian keyboard, but that is not a problem
for the X11 desktop, nor for the VirtualBox configuration GUI...just when it runs consoles...whatever appears inside...text or graphic
I am running VirtualBox on OI hipster with US locale when loggin to Oi
(and also US locale in VM guest) and haven't seen anything bad yet.
I can try how it behaves when OI desktop session is with another locale
and when I boot into console in VM, so I will see if I can reproduce
this and report.
What do you have as LANG LC_ALL etc. when you start the VM GUI? Is it English, Italian, etc?
Try to start (or wrap) GUI with `LANG=C LC_ALL=C /opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox` - maybe this will help? At least, similar things influence rdesktop for example...
