Bug description:
  Impact:
  gnome-settings-daemon uses 100% cpu for ever in some cases

  Test Case:
  Seems to happen sometimes after docking or connecting with vnc, try to connect to the machine using a vnc client a few times and check there is no numlock cycle and cpu usage loop starting

  Regression potential:
  The numlock state could be wrongly set,restored on login in some cases

  -----------------

  Original message:
  -----------------

  I don't know how to reproduce this bug, but after varying amounts of
  normal usage of my laptop, I notice gnome-settings-daemon is consuming
  100% (approx) CPU.

  I am not sure how to restart gnome-settings-daemon, I tried opening a
  terminal and running gnome-settings-daemon again but this crashes my
  system - my external monitor switches off and my laptop locks up. I am
  able to reboot with SysRq+REISUB.

  Sorry I cannot provide more information - it happens twice now, maybe
  someone can tell me how to get more information for the next time this
  happens.
