Package: numlockx
Version: 1.2-2
Severity: wishlist
We're using numlockx on LTSP, so it's installed by default for all clients.
Currently, numlockx assumes that "since the user has installed numlockx, he always
wants numlock to be on, otherwise he can uninstall it or edit
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/55numlockx". In LTSP, that assumption is not true. At least on
laptops where the numeric pad overlaps with the alphanumeric keys, it would be better if
it defaulted to off.
I propose the following changes:
* To help people that always want numlock off (bug #648013),
introduce /etc/default/numlockx, which would contain:
# Uncomment the following line to disable numlockx
#NUMLOCK=off
* And, replace /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55numlockx with the following,
so that it's off by default for laptops:
# X session startup script: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/55numlockx
if [ -x /usr/bin/numlockx ]; then
if [ -f /etc/default/numlockx ]; then
. /etc/default/numlockx || true
fi
case "$NUMLOCK" in
on|off|toggle)
;;
*)
NUMLOCK=on
if [ -x /usr/sbin/laptop-detect ]; then
if /usr/sbin/laptop-detect; then
NUMLOCK=off
fi
fi
;;
esac
numlockx "$NUMLOCK" || true
fi
