Title:
  "num lock is on" warning remains even after num lock is turned off

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.

  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-locked/enter-password dialog.
  * 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.
