Bug Description
As the computer goes through its startup process numlock becomes activated and it then brings me into the login screen. The first key I press, no matter what key it is on the keyboard, does not register as a pressed key at all, but instead the numlock light on the keyboard will go off. After that I can press any key and it sees my keystrokes just fine.
I'm not sure where to attribute this bug, as I've no longer got a vanilla configuration, with Gnome, kde, and xfce all installed, and formerly using gdm instead of kdm. I don't remember if I observed this bug within gdm as well, but I may have. I've had the issue ever since I started using the ubuntu feisty beta, but am now using Gutsy with KDE and kdm and still see the problem. This bug is only noticeable if I'm rebooting or I've done a complete shutdown and am booting back up. I've used 2 different keyboards and still I have this happen, one of them a logitech office comfort and the other a logitech elite keyboard LE.
Although I can't reproduce this myself, but there are several users in the German community forum who have the same problem:

Some of them use gdm and others kdm.
