While running the standard window manager, mwm, I found that hitting the
NumLock key causes the window manager to no longer respond to mouse clicks.
i.e. windows can not be moved, iconified, ... Dash still works fine, and
within a single window, like emacs, the cursor can still be manipulated
with the mouse.
This is a feature, not a bug. Mwm treats the NumLock key just like
the other modifier keys (shift, ctrl, alt, caps lock), so that you can
have different window manager commands bound to key sequences that
include a depressed NumLock key.
