Actually, there is a way to remap the keys in DOSBox. However, it's a permanent thing so if, for example, you remap the "a" and "q" keys to each other you'll need to hit "q" to type "a" and vice versa. There isn't a ton of typing in U7 though so it may be a viable solution.
As far as Exult goes, I STRONGLY suggest using it. The current builds are very stable. There is the disappearing objects bug but, just save every so often (you get something like 96 save slots in Exult) and, you'll be fine. If you run across something that's been deleted, just quit and then, reload an earlier save. Another thing you should do is quit the game every so often to let the cache clear. That also keeps the bug from popping up and allows you to take a break (which should really be done every once in a while regardless.) :)
As for the lagging in Exult that you mentioned... I don't know. The only difference I noticed in the movement between the two; is that things are faster in DOSBox, because I haven't reduced the framerate from the 14000 GoG has as the default for U7.
