Problem with Xfce4-volumed

I'm using Xfce4-volumed so that I can control my volume with my keyboard. However, after a little while, it stops working. I can still manipulate the volume from the mixer but not my keyboard. Only way I know of to fix it is to restart my system. I can't find any information on this problem. I know that it's not a lot to go on but any help would be appreciated.

I'm running Xfce4.4 under Slackware 13.37.

Actually I just figured out what caused Xfce4-volumed to stop working. It stops whenever I turn on NumLock, and works when I turn it off. Why in the world would NumLock cause it to stop working?

Hmm that's strange. I don't know xfce4-volumed myself, I just use a global keyboard shortcut that does something like mpc volume -5 -- using mpd here. The only thing I can think of is that the keycode changes when you turn on NumLock, could you check that (using xev)?

It works for me no matter how Num Lock is. I'm under Debian Sid. Don't know what to tell you.
