For me, numlockx *does* correctly handle the keyboard led, at least under Ubuntu. Under *Xubuntu* however, the led will NOT get lit. This has the rather strange effect that: - If I use numlockx to turn NumLock on, then the numeric keypad will become functional, but the led will remain off; - If

Note: The same issue happens under Kubuntu (the KDE3 generation; haven't tested with Kubuntu Remix yet). Thus: - Under Ubuntu (GNOME), numlockx handles the keyboard LED just fine; - Under Xubuntu (xfce), numlockx will not control the LED; however, you can run "numlockx on" from the "/etc/gdm/Init
