Me neither. This software's purpose is not to compensate for a broken key, it is to automatically enable the NumLock status whenever starting an X session. I don't oppose the addition of this toggle feature, but I honestly don't see the need for it either. However... I notice that the bug reporter's intended usage goes one step beyond: it would add an applet to either KDE or GNOME's taskbar to toggle the status of the NumLock key. That feels more involved. Anyhow, if someone ever submits a patch to upstream that adds the toggle action, without affecting current behaviour, I will gladly package it. -- Martin-Éric Racine http://q-funk.iki.fi
