[ale] Num Lock

[ChangingLINKS.com]

Spooky. The line was ALREADY there (and my numlock does not get set). It was 
probably put there when I installed the setnumlock file that used to work. I 
am using full RedHat 7.2 with all upgrades. It is not a big deal if I can't 
get it work again. Small annoyance.
