I did the file rename in #33, logged out and back in again and restored
the keyboard.gnome-settings-plugin filename and the problem did not come
back.  I went to my browser history and reloaded all the pages at the
time the keyboard error kicked in and none of them set off the num lock
error.  So I'm ast least guilty of attributing cause to correlation.

on the up side, restoring the keyboard file, which appears to be just a
list of languages in their own scripts to indicate keyboard layouts, did
not cause the numlock problem to recur, so maybe folks who need that
file can safely restore it after deleting and logging out and in.  gnome
settings daemon is happily sleeping at 0%cpu and numlock is off. Yay.
Thank you Mike M for posting the workaround.

  Original message:
  -----------------

  I don't know how to reproduce this bug, but after varying amounts of
  normal usage of my laptop, I notice gnome-settings-daemon is consuming
  100% (approx) CPU.

  I am not sure how to restart gnome-settings-daemon, I tried opening a
  terminal and running gnome-settings-daemon again but this crashes my
  system - my external monitor switches off and my laptop locks up. I am
  able to reboot with SysRq+REISUB.

  Sorry I cannot provide more information - it happens twice now, maybe
  someone can tell me how to get more information for the next time this
  happens.
