Here, GDM correctly executes the content of /etc/X11/Xsession.d once someone successfully logs on and the X user session starts. However, GDM itself does not appear to execute the content of that directory, which means that as soon as I exit GNOME and return to GDM, the numlock is unset again. -- Martin-�ric Racine, ICT Consultant http://www.pp.fishpool.fi/~q-funk/
