[arch-general] Bluetooth keyword layout in Gnome 3.12

[Ryan Fredette]

It may seem silly, but is numlock on?  It could be that because the 
keyboard doesn't have a numberpad, it's emulating one like many laptop 
keyboards: having it take over the right half of the board when numlock 
is enabled.  I don't know why upgrading Gnome would make numlock on by 
default, but it's worth a look, I think.
