Bug Description
The gnome screensaver is the only application I have ever used, ever, that thinks that num lock being on is something I should be warned about when entering a password.
This seems pointless as people generally do not change num lock during computer use, or if they do, it's not to the frequency of using caps lock.
Further, numlock being off, which appears to be the preferred state because that removes the warning, is an old-school habit, increasingly unusual.
Please remove this warning. It is warning against the normative state, and it doesn't provide useful information. It's just screen clutter.

I agree, I think I never used a computer where numlock was off by default.
