I installed F17 (F17 Desktop Live CD) and Rawhide (F16 Desktop Live CD
 upgraded to Rawhide) on Sunday on the same netbook.

In F17, logging in to GNOME, numlock's on and cannot be turned off in
Terminal and numlock's on and can be turned off on a virtual console
while logged in to GNOME. After logging out of GNOME, numlock's off
when logging in to a virtual console.

In Rawhide, no numlock problem.
