Just to confirm it affects 8.04, fresh install. Nice to know that this bug that affected a copy of Gnome I crowbarred onto slackware 9.1 5 years ago still has no fix.. gaaarrgghh.. I don't often use the keypad, but about 1 in 5 times mouse keys will be turned on AGAIN. I wish there was an un-install all accessibility features (mental note to check if there is) harsh though it sounds for those who might need it, having things random turn on and off is a pain.

Does it help to gksu gconf-editor then set the enable-mouse-keys or off and mandatory? I know this means every local user will be affected, but every local user is currently me, and I don't mind too much!

Nice to know this bug has been confirmed though.. 5 years ago I gave up looking for answers as I was too pushed for time.
