This would be a good addition.  It would be good to be able to define
a newly added user as a sysadmin who would then get those menu items
by default.  Otherwise, those items should not appear.

The BIOS usually controls this, not Linux in my experience.

The login screen already warns if Caps Lock is on.  Perhaps it can
warn if Num Lock is off too.

Personally, i rarely use the number keypad, least of all for password
entry.
