Interesting. Every time I boot the PC, it turns off. Every time I log in 
to the shell, it turns off. Every time I start X, it turns off. Every 
time I stop X, it turns off. Every time I log out of the shell, it turns 
off. It /constantly/ turns off.

Wait for the PC to boot up, turn on numlock, log in, turn numlock back 
on, start X, turn numlock back on /again/. Teach the X configuration. 
Stop X. Turn numlock back on. Start KDM. Turn numlock back on. Log in as 
a user. Turn numlock on again. See the pattern here?

I did once see somebody from the local LUG explain how to keep numlock 
permanently enabled in the shell, but it didn't seem to affect X.
