Simple. num_lock is regarded as a modifier key on most setups - quite
similar to Shift, Ctrl, Alt and Meta. So, obviously, for X num_lock+KEY
is something different than simply KEY, just as Ctrl+KEY is something
different than KEY. I assume it's possible to tell X not to regard
num_lock as modifier (my guess would be xmodmap), but I've never
bothered to find out... :-}
