A fix for Start Numlock on KDE startup in 4.2.1 release108

[Sagemta]

The latest update for KDE4.2.1 release108 has eliminated the Start Numlock on KDE start up in the Configure desktop Keyboard and Mouse.
If you like to have your Num Lock on at start up here'e a how to:
1. Kmenu>Configure Desktop>Advanced Tab
2.Click Autostart
3.Click the Add Script Button Then click the icon to the right of script bar
4.There will be a box with all your folders show up under the places pane select Root
5.Open the usr folder, then open the bin folder find then select numlockx
6.Click OK then another box will come up Click OK on that one
If all has gone well in the Autostart System Settings You should have a line that will look like this:

See the line
numlockx /usr/bin/n...
That's what you should have if all went well. Now if you shutdown your PC at night or day as the case maybe. When you turn your PC back on your Num Lock will start up when KDE does.
