I don't think that XFCE is skipping the startup script: After I
installed numlockx on Xubuntu, the numeric keypad did become functional
upon login--but the keyboard LED did not get lit.

It seems to me that the startup script "/etc/X11/Xsession.d/55numlockx"
is the one that will execute numlockx upon login (there doesn't seem to
be any other place where it might be done), so it must get run.

The issue is that XCFE will not turn the keyboard LED on. You can easily
verify this by running the command "numlockx on" manually from a shell
window: it *will* turn on NumLock mode, but it will not light the LED.
Conversely, "numlockx off" will turn NumLock mode off again, but it will
not dim the LED (if it was lit, e.g., after you pressed the NumLock
key).
