I used this workaround to permanently disable mousekeys shortcut shift+num-lock, alt+shift+num-lock etc…
gksudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/complete
-or-
sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/complete
and comment out lines for mousekeys and accesx(full) (for full keyboard accessibility purge)
resulting file /usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/complete:
// $XKeyboardConfig$
// $Xorg: complete,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:34 cpqbld Exp $
default xkb_compatibility “complete” {
include “basic”
augment “iso9995″
//augment “mousekeys”
//augment “accessx(full)”
augment “misc”
augment “xfree86″
augment “level5″
};
Wish you a lot happy days without moving mouse by keypad

I've been using the Alt-Shift-Num Lock shortcut to disable the feature each time. Even if I turn off the “Pointer can be controlled using the keypad” feature it is enabled again after reboot.
