Relax, we have source. And, interestingly, this problem doesn't occur
with the native mwm under IRIX, even though Num_Lock is assigned to a
modifier (Mod2) and xev reports different states for keypresses
depending on whether num lock is pressed. I would be interested to
get a peek at the IRIX mwm source code to see how they deal with this
problem, so I can be consistent, but pretty much guess: on startup, we
look at the modifier mappings and see if Num_Lock is assigned to one
of them, and then we mask that modifier out of key event states before
looking them up.
