Please make xubuntu-desktop depend on numlockx and then add the following code to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-numlock.conf:

<code>
[Seat:*]
greeter-setup-script=numlockx on
<\code>

in order to make the numlock = on, by default, on desktop machines(laptop-detect = 0)

The lack of this functionality has been a constant irritant to my Microsoft Windows converts.
