The F6 key had "num lock" written on it and, depending on your pommed
settings, is activated via one keystroke or Fn+F6. I have mine set-up to
work on one click, but it doesn't work either way.

Bug description:
Intrepid beta with latest updates. Santa Rosa Macbook Pro.

The Num Lock function key does not effect the output of the keyboard. xev shows that "Num_Lock" key events are coming through, but the keyboard mapping is not modified, so hitting the number area does not show any numbers just the letters.

On hardy, activating the num lock would change my keyboard to use the secondary number keys (uio, jkl, m) among other things.

This happens whether my keyboard layout is Macintosh or UK layout (my standard layout).
