imho it should do it at the session level, not at boot/gdm

IE remember the status of the numlock when you log out, and restore it
to that status when you next log in. Don't know how well that would work
with remote login over gdm, but that's what it should do. In My Humble
Opinion - which is sometime wrong ;)
