Bug Description
Version: 3.1.5-0ubuntu6
Release: 11.10
After fiddling with Num Lock, I noticed that the lock window claimed it was still enabled, and yet it is not.
Comments info:
"it might be connected with the fact that on (new) Thinkpads there are something like TWO num locks, one is for an external keyboard and the other - for the internal one."
Sequence of events:
* Turn on Num Lock.
* Lock the screen. (On a ThinkPad, I do this by pressing Fn+F2. Whatever option it is that means "lock the screen immediately", I have it turned on.)
* Tap a key to bring up the screen-
* Observe the warning.
* Turn off Num Lock.
* Observe the warning is still there.
* Successfully unlock the screen.
* Lock the screen again.
* Observe the warning is still there.
* [Optional] Unlock the screen. File a bug against gnome-screensaver.
Not related to bug #835649, which concerns showing the warning when Num Lock is enabled but not otherwise problematic, e.g. when using a "full-size" (i.e. "has lots of extra keys") keyboard.

Sorry for the status change, but I'm unable to reproduce this (not on a ThinkPad, though). Janitor changed to Confirmed on "affects me too", but I meant to +1 on bug #835649.
