In Thunderbird and gedit, and I think elsewhere, my numeric keypad 
insists on being numeric when I have the shift key down, even with 
NumLock turned off.

Normally (under my Windows persona) I would place the cursor at the 
beginning of an area, hold the shift key, and use the arrow keys to move 
across and highlight a piece of text.  This doesn't work in X using the 
numeric keypad -- when I press the shift key, it does numerics instead 
of positioning.  I have to use those other arrow keys, which are far 
less efficient for me.

Is there a way to correct this so that NumLock remains in effect with 
the shift key down?

I've noticed that under CentOS the cut and paste operations are 
operating much more consistently than they previously did under Linux, 
so this NumLock thing is the last frontier as far as local operations 
are concerned.  (Still some flukes when logging onto other boxes, but 
that's another day's battle.)

Thx,

Vic
