Making it the default setting only masks the real problem. The real fix is in the clients/libs. For now though, if you want clients that don't ignore the NumLock modifier state to work while you have NumLock on, it is the only solution. At least in XFree86 3.1.2, the default NumLock state will be set to off when the Xserver starts so that not so many people will be caught out by this. David
