Just wanted to say that I have the slim Apple Keyboard, and am having
the numlock key problem.  For those of you who do the bug fixing, I want
to get a vote in for changing the f-keys to their values by default.  If
I want to change my volume for example, pressing fn before hand seems
most appropriate and allows the function keys to be more accessible.

Also, the f6 trick is good to know.  I spent 20 mins trying to figure
out how to get the numlock to unstick.  Now I can unplug my old keyboard
and use my apple one (which is the best keyboard ever) until the bug
gets fixed.

Bug description:
I have the new Slim USB Apple Keyboard and in Hardy Heron (Beta) when I first boot up the alphabet keys work perfectly, but once I type in the numpad or a number, nothing happens.  After nothing happens I'm not able to use my alpha keys, either..  When I type alphabet keys after trying a number the alphabet keys produce numbers like '4' and '3'..  And many of the keys don't do anything..


I have tried setting the keyboard up as default, and as an Apple keyboard by going to System > Prefs > Keyboard -- but nothing works.

If i then unplug the keyboard to reboot the keys usually work fine until I hit a number key or the keypad again.
