If we do this, should probably go into xfce4-settings-helper instead...

WIP patch to fix the issue

I'm working on this. I got the code almost done but I'm facing an issue: numlock LED can end up desynchronized with numlock state.

This is a X.org bug which was fixed in previous releases but it seems there is a regression in 7.5. See http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16145 for more details.

It seems this issue is not reproducible on all boxes, so I don't know if we still want to get that stuff in or if we wait until the things settle in X.org.

I found another way of doing this without the XTest extension, and it works! Pushed to git master.
