I decided to try to run some tests, to better understand the situation in which 
the bug would occur, and I just discovered that right now (I'm logged via 
remote desktop) the keypad keys seem to work as intended only when Num Lock is 
turned off, i.e. acting as the arrow keys (plus page up/down etc.) but if I 
enable Num Lock they just do... nothing. They not even seem to work as mouse 
keys. It doesn't matter the function status, I tried to enable/disable it 
manually in the control panel (since the keyboard shortcut doesn't work via 
remote desktop) but nothing changes. Which conclusion would you draw from this? 
IMHO, that the bug just involves the remote desktop server (I tried two 
different clients) that is, in my case, the embedded vino.
Of course it would be nice to see how would the keys behave right now 
"locally", but I won't have access to this pc until monday morning, so this 
test can't be run. I hope this little "do-it-yourself" analysis can help in 
some way... if you need any details feel free to ask, I'm constantly monitoring 
this discussion.
