Title:
  Turning on NumLock on USB keyboard disables MacBook's (and possibly
  others') built-in keyboard

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Most of the keys on my MacBook 4,1's keyboard will stop responding...
  sometimes. I've tried to figure out a consistent way to reproduce the
  bug, but I've been unable to do so, hence my use of "sometimes". If I
  open xev, I see that no event is being generated by most keypresses.
  This only happens when logged in to a GNOME session - the keyboard
  works in the loging screen, both before I login, and after I logout.

  WORKAROUND: If I empty out the contents of
  /home/<username>/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-<hostname>,
  logout and login, the keyboard starts working again.

  Note that just logging out and back in does not fix it. Also note that
  the contents of
  /home/<username>/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-<hostname>
  do not have to be absent for the keyboard to work. I am currently
  typing on said keyboard and
  /home/<username>/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-<hostname>
  contains its usual folder "0" and file "%gconf.xml". Also also note
  that a USB keyboard will work fine throughout all of this.

  This may have something to do with my external monitor setup. This is
  a work laptop, and at work I have a second screen. At home I do not. I
  *believe* this only happens when I switch from one setup to the other
  - ie powering on my laptop at work with the second screen plugged in
  after it had been powered on at home without a second screen, and
  powering it on at home without a second screen after it had been
  powered on at work with one.
