MouseKeys enabled in Keyboard Preferences by Default

[Ryan Sinn]

I just installed my system with a fresh install of 9.04 Jaunty BETA (no linux partitions prior) and the default behaviour was that the number pad moved the mouse.

I had to google the solution:

People are getting confused about it:

The default behaviour of the NumLock / Number Pad should be to enter numbers or as alternate directional keys... not Accessibility MouseKeys functionality.

This is very confusing for people who came from 8.04 (didn't behave this way) and for people who come from a Windows or even Apple environment.

This is fixed in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala). Mouse keys are disabled by default.
