Part of the problem appears to be that this gconf key gets set to true when num lock is turned on, and then never set back to false when num lock is turned off.

perseus:[~] gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-perseus/0/numlock_on
false
perseus:[~] # press num lock
perseus:[~] gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-perseus/0/numlock_on
true
perseus:[~] # press num lock
perseus:[~] gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-perseus/0/numlock_on
true

The only way to set it back to false is manually with gconf.
