Description Bastien Nocera 2010-10-12 16:42:46 UTC 
Currently disabled waiting on GSettingsList.

See code in plugins/keyboard/gsd-keyboard-manager.c
Comment 1 William Jon McCann 2010-10-12 18:30:44 UTC 
May want to consider that it currently is sorta broken when you have multiple keyboards...  the setting isn't really per hostname but per device I guess.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2010-10-12 18:52:57 UTC 
Well, it should be per-device, though it obviously works per hostname, and applies the same setting to all the keyboards attached to a display server. Which is pretty broken...

Is it worth even trying?

[Removing GNOME3.0 target as decided in release-team meeting on March 03, 2011. "nice-to-have" categorisation for GNOME3.0]

Comment 7 Bastien Nocera 2011-07-01 16:22:06 UTC 
Peter, do we have per-device Num-Lock, or is that per display?

If it's per-display, I'll just turn that into a boolean and be done with it.
Comment 8 Peter Hutterer 2011-07-04 00:03:47 UTC 
Strictly speaking per device, though it takes some effort to get it to work per-device (i.e. XI2 support). By default, hitting numlock on one keyboard will traverse through all devices and toggle it for all.
