This is somewhat strange. I've never seen that Xvnc starts up with numlock
enabled. Can you verify if this happens even if you start something basic
such as an xterm? My guess is that the Ubuntu desktop or something similar
activates numlock.
Using DRC's 1.2 release of Xvnc, starting up just an xterm, the numpad types
out numbers like numlock is enabled. If numlock is pressed, it switches to
the alternate arrow keys etc. If pressed again, it does not switch back to
numbers. It continues using the alternate arrow keys.
There's a state at the server and a state at the client. When you say
"numlock is pressed", I assume that you mean that numlock is active at the
client side? This will typically produce keysyms such as KP_1, which will
sent over VNC. But in the Xvnc session, numlock is typically still off.
This approach is what I recommend. But having numlock active in the Xvnc
session may cause strange effects such as the one you are describing.
