      When logged in at a Sun Ray appliance on Linux, Numlock enabled, and XKEYBOARD disabled, both functions of the keys on the numerical keypad are applied.

      The problem is strictly reproducible both with 1.4.2_10 and with 1.5.0_06,
      as well as with earlier update releases.

      Testcase:
      =========
      Red Hat 3.0 AS. Install the SRSS 3.0 or 3.1. Login.
      Check that XKEYBOARD is disabled:
        % /usr/X11R6/bin/xdpyinfo | grep XK
        % (nothing)
      Start the Notepad demo. On my test system, this is
        % java -jar /opt/java/j2sdk1.4.2_07/demo/jfc/Notepad/Notepad.jar
      Type in a few lines of text.
      With Numlock turned off, use the numerical keybad. Works fine.

      Then turn on Numlock. Now the keys on the numerical keypad are broken,
      both functions of the keys are applied.
      Example: press the "4" key, it will both write a "4" and go left.
