Comment 35 for bug 184472

I also experienced this bad behavior too, I mean: System > System Settings > Keyboard & Mouse > Click on "Turn On" for "NumLock on KDE Startup", then system reboot: the numlock status LED is OFF although my numeric keypad is enabled, and the way around: if I press the numlock key, the numlock status LED is ON but my numeric keypad is disabled. Pb is 100% reproducible (I'm running Kubuntu Natty 11.04 with KDE 4.6.2). I don't have the numlock status LED transiently switching to ON just after the reboot as reported in comment #1. Also, if I check "Leave unchanged" for "NumLock on KDE Startup" in my system settings, I may have my numlock status LED correctly handled, but then after some while, the LED status gets de-synchronized with the actual numeric keyboard status (I did not identified one single action that triggers the de-synchronization so far).

The bug is classified as "waitingInfo": which info do you miss for investigating this issue further, which issue being pending for some while now (I do not remember from which KDE version this pb appears, but I did not have any problem at all with numlock handling one or two years ago).
