Comment 54 for bug 192508

@Duvel
I already tried that, with no chance; moreover, if I enable the mousekeys by
activating the shortcut,
the option box (that is still unselected) seems to have no effect at all,
even enabling and then disabling it
and also closing any window trying to enforce the new setting. Thanks anyway
for the effort :)

Nice hint, but it looks like it's another ignored setting. The mouse keys
can still be turned on,
and the shortcut is also working as before. Of course, this doesn't avoid my
problem to occur...
Nonetheless, thanks for trying to help me :)
