When I run xev on Ubuntu 12.04 in a gnome-terminal and then select the
original terminal, xev reports nothing when I hit keypad keys.  Some
keys generate sequences that are echoed to the terminal.  This is the
root of the problem.  Emacs does not get keystrokes directly from X;
instead they are mediated by the terminal emulator, gnome-terminal in
my case.

Now, if I click on the window created by xev, keypad events do get
reported.  These events have gone to Xev via the X system; the terminal
emulator has not seen them as directed at it.
