The suggestion made by Cipher_no1 above, does work: Turning on NumLock from 
"/etc/gdm/Init/Default" *will* turn on the keyboard LED.
Once the xfce environment is loaded, however, the "numlockx" utility will no 
longer touch the LED.

For me, this is an acceptable work-around for this issue--NumLock is now
automatically turned on when I boot the system, *AND* the LED correctly
reflects this fact. Since the NumLock key still functions correctly
(i.e., it toggles both the NumLock status and the LED), I can live with
it.
