Are you sure this is not a property of your keyboard rather
than a property of your operating system?
What about keyboards that have both keypad arrows and separate
arrow keys?

The QtGnuplotScene.cpp.diff patch appears to be backwards
from what you describe above.  If it detects __APPLE__ it
removes the keypad modifier, rather than adding it.

Could you please check and confirm which is correct,
the patch or the description you gave above?
