How do I get Numlock to be on as standard in Fedora Core 4? Would like

If using Gnome, the following works for fc3 :-)
GNOME Tips
Numlock
Some users like to have the numlock turned on automatically, something
that I don't think GNOME currently does. The solution is to install a
tiny binary that turns on the numlock for you, and have GNOME run that
at startup.
You can install the numlock binary by downloading and installing the
following rpm:
numlock-0.1-0.0.yjl.1.i386.rpm
If you have configured yum to use my YJL Packages repository, you can
just (as root) run:
yum install numlock
Once numlock is installed, go to the Applications menu, select the
Preferences menu, select the More Preferences menu, and finally the
Sessions menu option.
Select the Startup Items tab, and click on the Add button. You should
get a window like this:
[Add Startup Program]
Enter /usr/bin/numlock into the Startup Command field. You don't really
need to change the order, the default of 50 is fine. Click the OK
button, and you are done. Next time you log into GNOME it will turn on
the numlock for you.
