This is a long-standing (pre KDE4) bug. It may still be somewhere open
in the database, but I couldn't find it, so I'm re-filing it
specifically against KDE4. (I looked hard; I apologize if it's there.)

In System Settings | Keyboard & Mouse | Keyboard Shortcuts, one can set
(for example) "Switch to desktop 1" by pressing the left Win key and the
keypad "1". This is reported as "Meta-1" on my system, which in itself
is a little strange; I would expect that it record it as "Win-KP1".
Anyway, after applying this new definition, I would expect that hitting
the same keys (left Win + KP1) would cause a switch to desktop 1. It
doesn't. Pressing the entered combination produces no result at all.

To add to this, I'm finding that none of the keypad's keys (with or without NumLock) function in shortcuts.  If the key exists elsewhere (e.g. "1", Ins, etc.) than that key will work, but the keypad version does not.  In the case of other keys (e.g. "*", etc.) the shortcut never works because the other "*" is registered as Shift+*, not simply *.
As far as being pre-KDE4, I know that using the keypad's Ins key worked in 3.5, but never tried the numbers.
Using 4.1.3.

I just noticed this bug after updating from 4.2 to 4.2.1.  I have
shortcuts for switching the desktop left/right/up/down using ctrl+arrow
key.  The left and right shortcuts work, the up and down do not.  They
were working last week, but now are not.  I'm running amd64 Kubuntu
Intrepid with the Launchpad KDE 4.2.1 packages.

In the Task Tracker on the qtsoftware website (formerly Trolltech), I
noticed this suggestion:

QKeySequence: Be able to specify that a keysequence refers to a numpad
key with the Keypad modifier

http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/task-
tracker/index_html?method=entry&id=229868

Could this be related to the KDE problem of mapping shortcuts to keypad-
keys?

me too. KDE 4.4.5.  If you set a shortcut to CTRL-ALT-3 (using the
number pad 3), it is only activated when you press CTRL-ALT-3 (using the
3 above the W key).

Where do I fix it?  I have source, I'll do it, just tell me where to
look.

KDE 4.7, bug still present. 
It really sucks when changing from gnome to KDE, for quick tiling in corners numpad is nicely suited to the job.
