Numlock out of sync

[tim]

Using Remmina for vnc on Linux Mint 19.3 MATE (Based on Ubuntu 18.04) accessing several machines with vino-server (v 1.4.6) running also on Linux Mint 19.3 MATE. All machines boot up with Numlock on and vino-server running. However in order to use the numeric key pad for numbers on the remote machine I have to toggle the Numlock key on the Remmina machine. Then the numbers work on the remote machine but the local machine they are off. The symbols /, *, -, and . work fine.

Any idea how to fix this? Vino-server is started by systemd at boot. I don't know what mechanism toggles the Numlock on at boot but could there be a timing problem?

Is there a fixed setting in vino I can tell it what state to assume the Numlock is when vino-server is started?

By the way when I use Remmina to access windows machines that are running UltraVNC the Numlock is synced correctly.

Need to correct 2 errors in my post:
 The vino-server version is 3.22.0
 The vino-server is stared up from the Startup applications deal after you log in not systemd.
