I've researched three methods:
1) http://mirrors.domainnet.dk/ltsp/setnumlock.tar.gz has directions and
code for compiling and using a program called "setnumlock" to set the
numlock in X.
2) put this in your /home/username/.Xmodmap for every applicable user or
user template:
keycode 79=7
keycode 80=8
keycode 81=9
keycode 83=4
keycode 84=5
keycode 85=6
keycode 86=plus
keycode 87=1
keycode 88=2
keycode 89=3
keycode 90=0
keycode 91=period
3) edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/types/basic and change the KEYPAD section
to look like this:
type "KEYPAD" {
modifiers = Shift+NumLock;
map[None] = Level2;
map[Shift] = Level1;
map[NumLock] = Level1;
map[Shift+NumLock] = Level2;
level_name[Level2] = "Base";
level_name[Level1] = "Number";
};
The drawback of 2 and 3 is the Num Lock LED is also reversed. Your file
locations and names may vary because your using thin clients but it's all
the same software.
Have fun, if you dare!

I noticed KDE has a one-line configuration option for the numlock state :o
