I had this issue with my keyboard not working, and I read this bug report and thought that this was it - but no! Although it gave me some clues.
What happenden to me was that NUMLOCK was turned on (!!!) the problem was that I'm on a Macbook and the keyboard does not have a numloc key. But I had an external keyboard attached and here I turnede numlock on - after detaching the the external keyboard the one on the macbook didn't work no more.
I deleted the setting using just the mouse by deleting the file; ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/<computername>/0/%gconf.xml
