THE QUESTION WAS:

Various Athena widgets don't work.  I can't get any of the menu items
to highlight.  I can't open a menu on my xterms.

THE ANSWER:

You've got your NumLock key turned on.  Turn it off.

What?  You want your NumLock key turned on?  Okay, put

	ServerNumLock

in the "Keyboard" section of your XF86Config file.  This will have the
server treat NumLock internally, rather than as a modifier key.

Now, why the hell isn't this a FAQ item?!?!

One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to
take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old
burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said, "Disneyland burned down." He
cried and cried, but I think deep down he thought it was a pretty good
joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was
getting pretty late.  -- Jack Handey
