Ctrl+Alt+numpadminus and Ctrl+Alt+numpadplus never worked for me. In KMail the Ctrl+Alt+numpadminus would do the same thing as the plain minus key. Until I read this thread and started trying all kinds of combinations... After toggling NumLock, it suddenly started to work, and now just keeps working no matter what the state of NumLock is, also after a reboot. :| Are we maybe all using KDE? Might some obsolete configuration data be interfering, data that only gets flushed when the keyboard config is changed? So just changing the config, and later changing it back should work?
