I have this problem with a fresh install of 12.04. Christophe's keyboard.gnome-settings-plugin replacement work-around did not work for me - the daemon spawned back with a vengeance and started using 100% of one of my cores. But I can live with the default autorepeat setting and am not overloading numlock, and so removing that file altogether and killing gnome-settings-daemon worked.
