Yeah, that's pretty common in my experience. It's because the client
uses its own cursor acceleration.

Probably an issue between different keymaps on the VNC client and
server. Maybe you can set a keymap on your vnc client? I use remmina
as a vnc client (wrapper), and am able to choose different clients. I
use the dvorak layout, so I have set my VNC client to dvorak as well.
But on the guest VM I still have to set it to the US layout.
Probably because the client sends key codes, not characters, to the
VNC server.
