If you are using Kde, navigate to your /.kde/Autostart folder, right click on
a clear area and then create new -> Link to Application and in the execute
tab enter /usr/X11R6/bin/enable_X11_numlock into the empty box (complete the
entries under the other tabs - should be self explanatory)
- you need to do this for each user (and root) i.e. in
/home/username/.kde/Autostart and /home/root/.kde/Autostart
it worked for me in 7.0,7.1 & 7.2
Note: this only enables numlock after login so if you have numbers in your
password it won't help.
