A few months ago, I found a common bug that is shared amongst all ubuntu users on thinkpad laptops. The numlock function stays 'on' and cannot be turned off via keyboard command. So, here is the fix:
Step 1:
# run the gconf-editor from a terminal window
onizo# gconf-editor
Step 2:
# in the Configuration Editor window
go to Edit -> Find and enter "numlock" in the search field. be sure to enable "Search also in key names"
Step 3:
# use the checkboxes to enable/disable features
Turn off "remember_numlock_state"
Turn off numlock "numlock_on"
That's it. no reboot required.
Nice! I never knew there was a search function in gconf-editor. It worked for my T23.

Great post. Thanks for inspiring me a bit today. When running a company, we should try to create a culture that supports and rewards appropriate risk taking and innovation. But if we're not in one of those, or we're not the ones running it, we should stop whining and be more proactive.
