Hi Jamie,

I feel rather sheepish now. I recall Thomas Adam telling me the same
thing on this list, that FVWM + numlock do not play well together,
something like 10 or so years ago. As soon as I read your message,
I knew that was going to be the answer, and sure enough, it seems to
be solved.

Thanks so much for the reply.
