My parents PC was hit by this bug today. I got a phone call from my father and he tells
me that the numblock keys don't work anymore. So I connect to his PC with vinagre
and find out he's right. I tell him to reboot the machine, but the problem is still there
after reboot. Then I ran xev on his machine and saw that the keyboard was generating
events as expected. My father plugged in another keyboard and everything worked fine.

I searched the net and found this bug. I've never heard of the SHIFT-NUMLOCK key
combination before...
I think this behavior (killing numblock keys even after reboot) needs immediate fixing.
