I merged that one-line fix into the work directory tree for our 2.22
build and it didn't make any difference.  The code in question is
pretty much dedicated to handling num-lock.

   http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-settings-daemon/trunk/plugins/keyboard/gsd-keyboard-manager.c?r1=232&r2=259

Since then Jens has committed some other stuff that I'll look in to.

I'll also get to work walking through the code w/ gdb.
