This was very annoying for me until someone mentioned replacing Vino
with x11vnc:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=45565

I haven't had a single issue after making the switch.

What was happening before the switch:

Mouse keys turns on randomly when using VNC from Windows clients to connect to Vino on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron.
 -and- 
Periodically, my NumLock would turn off on Ubuntu and I had to physically turn it back on with the keyboard on the box (VNC never would allow NumLock to turn back on).

Again, x11vnc fixed it completely.
