Bug#694060: Pressing the numlock key makes HDD LED blink shortly

Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.4+6
Severity: normal

How to reproduce:

If your Numlock LED is lighted:
1. Press the Numlock key.
2. Release the Numlock key, observing that the HDD LED flashes. The flash time does not exceed 1/3 s.

If your Numlock LED is not lighted:
1. Press the Numlock key, observing that the HDD LED flashes. The flash time does not exceed 1/3 s.
2. Release the Numlock key.

The used computer is Dell Precision M 6700.

I expect that such an innocent action as switching the Numlock state should not incur unnecessary disk activity or, even worse, HDD LED blinking without such an activity.

Jaakov.
