[NMLUG] numlock ON
It causes others trouble too...
>From http://www.fvwm.org/documentation/faq/
0.1 A few minutes after fvwm is started my keyboard and mouse
bindings stop working. What can I do?
A: Probably your NumLock, CapsLock or ScrollLock key is pressed. See
Q 5.5 for more details.
Trivia: In all my years as an fvwm developer this has been by far the
most frequently asked question. Whoever can solve this problem so
that this question is never asked again will be mentioned in big
letters on the fvwm home page :-)
