  I am not sure, but I can sure check it. do you think that the numlock
disables the control/alt in some way? like having the alt with num lock off
and alt with numlock on are two different key combinations? (just like ctrl
and ctrl-alt are two different key combinations?)

  under solaris, exceed (win X server) and fvwm 2.2.x both numlock on and
numlock off work the same way (alt and ctrl shortcuts work).

  :-))

  what is the big numlock problem in unix? I noticed that the realplayer
(older versions) did not work (more precisely: the menu did not work) with
numlock on, we were told by Continuus people (source code control system, we
have solaris version) that our problems with help not working might be
because of the numlock etc...

  thanks for a suggestion. I'll try it when I get home...
