Well this seems to help...
I reversed the action of the num-lock key by running the
following commands through xmodmap. So when Num-Lock is off, the
numerals are produced; and when Num-Lock is on, the
Home/arrows/Page ones work.
keysym KP_Home = KP_7 KP_Home
keysym KP_Up = KP_8 KP_Up
keysym KP_Prior = KP_9 KP_Prior
keysym KP_Left = KP_4 KP_Left
keysym KP_Begin = KP_5 KP_Begin
keysym KP_Right = KP_6 KP_Right
keysym KP_End = KP_1 KP_End
keysym KP_Down = KP_2 KP_Down
keysym KP_Next = KP_3 KP_Next
keysym KP_Insert = KP_0 KP_Insert
keysym KP_Delete = KP_Decimal KP_Delete
