The xwmconfig(1) binary +makes this copy when it is run. To summarize, if you use xwmconfig(1) to +change your window manager/desktop environment after editing it for numlockx, +you will need to make the edits again. Alternatively, you can make the +numlockx edit to the "master" files in /etc/X11/xinit/ for each of the +installed window managers, and this will allow you to change window managers +without losing the numlockx functionality. However, be aware that an upgrade +to any of the window managers involved might/will overwrite your changes. + |
