The bug is still unsolved in 2012.

It happened two times to beginners that belong to my LUG.
In 2010: http://listengine.tuxfamily.org/linuxarverne.org/discussions/2010/04/msg00024.html
And recently: http://listengine.tuxfamily.org/linuxarverne.org/discussions/2012/01/msg00000.html

Fortunately they are using libre software for a long time now and are convinced by free software philosophy, but I can imagine what could happen to other beginners facing this problem.

They both use Ubuntu 10.04 but I used an up-to-date debian sid with gnome shell 3.2, and the Shift+NumLock still activates the option (whose is now in the universal access menu and not in the keyboard menu).

When will this "feature" be disabled? If not, is it possible to change the combination to a more-difficult-to-accidentaly-strike-it one, such as Ctrl+Alt+NumLock?
