> I am using Hardy Heron and several times now I have tried to use my number pad only to discover that they now move the mouse. I don't know if there is a short cut key I am hitting on accident, but it is rather annoying. Then sometimes when I disable mouse keys, the numlock becomes switched so that the system thinks numlock is on when the light is off and vice-versa.

For the record -
 /usr/bin/gconftool-2 --type bool --set
/desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard/mousekeys_enable false
turns mousekeys off again. It's instant, no need to logout or
whatever. I suppose if I knew how to make that a mandatory setting it
would qualify as a work around until this gets fixed....
