@Arthur: I can verify that this happens with NX server:

- Fresh install of 8.04.1 on an IBM Thinkpad T30, no issues with NumLk.
- Installed NX:
  nxclient_3.2.0-14_i386.deb
  nxnode_3.2.0-13_i386.deb
  nxserver_3.2.0-16_i386.deb
and NX'ed into the T30 to verify all was working. Immediately the NumLk LED 
came on and the numeric keys were enabled. The only way that I could get the 
alpha keys back was to do as you suggested Shift-ScrlLk(NumLk), and the LED 
stays on. Oddly enough, I log back in via NX to the T30 and then log back out 
and NumLk is no longer enabled, nor is the NumLk LED on.

Log back in to the T30 and press NumLk on the remote, NumLk key on the
T30 goes on and off properly (I have the two machines side by side so
it's easy to monitory). I leave the NumLk key enabled via the remote NX
and logout. The T30 is left in a NumLk state; this time numbers on the
keypad are working (type 'k' and the result is '2').  Pressing Shift-
ScrlLk(NumLk) returns the keyboard to alpha, but LED is still on.

Test again: this time I turn off the "Remember NumLock State" in the T30. NumLk 
control from the remote now has no effect on the T30 target. Turn it back on 
(in the T30) and NumLk control from the remote now works.
Logout with NumLk turned off on the remote (and the T30) and now I'm back to no 
LED and no '2' when I press 'k' on the T30. Pressing Shift-ScrlLk(NumLk) 
returns the keyboard to alpha, but this time _no_ NumLk LED is on.

So perhaps it is a combination of Ubuntu and the application. In any
event, the above _is_ reproducible if any developers want to test. (And
yes Leann, I know that the Intrepid kernel is available... but this is
an LTS release so testing via Intrepid isn't practical).
