Howto push option-key from windows with VNC?

[toke lahti]

I want to use OsX's internal VNC-server, so no 3rd party server software, please!
Tight VNC has been nicest client with windows, good zooming etc.

But how to use keyboard shortcuts with option-button?
Alt-button in windows client interprets itself as command-key to Mac and AltGr in win is Alt for Mac.
For example to reset Qmaster Preferences' services, you'll have to hover mouse on "Start Sharing" button and push Option to change the button to "Reset Services".
(I know that qmaster can be reset from command line, but there's lots of other uses for option-key also...)

Is there any way to do this?

Also it would be nice to have international keyboards supported in VNC.
Is this about server or client?

Same problem here.

I have no idea how to press the Option key from a Windows VNC client. All other keys work correctly.

This might work:

But I don't have time to test it right now.
And free sloution would be nicer also.
How do handicapped, that can push only one key at a time, push key combinations?
Could that be done via VNC?

I'm guessing this problems has something to do with international settings on the keyboards, my Windows keyboard is set to Icelandic but switching to US didn't solve anything.

I would have guessed though that other users had encountered this problem.

Sticky keys from Universal Access from System Preferences seems to work.
Not very handy though...
