Doesn't work for the gdm login screen.

Been there, done that.  Put in in practically every startup script I could 
find, including xdm's (and of course those in /etc/gdm)  The mumlock trick 
doesn't work as I already have numlock while in my desktop env. (KDE) and in 
tty's.
None of these worked:

/etc/init.d/numlockx:/usr/local/bin/numlockx
/etc/rc1.d/S99numlockx:/usr/local/bin/numlockx
/etc/rc2.d/S19numlockx:/usr/local/bin/numlockx
/etc/rc3.d/S19numlockx:/usr/local/bin/numlockx
/etc/rc4.d/S16numlockx:/usr/local/bin/numlockx
/etc/rc5.d/S19numlockx:/usr/local/bin/numlockx
/etc/rc6.d/S65numlockx:/usr/local/bin/numlockx
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc:/usr/local/bin/numlockx on
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc:exec /usr/local/bin/numlockx
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup:exec /usr/local/bin/numlockx &
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/99xfree86-common_start:/usr/local/bin/numlockx
/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions/Xsession:/usr/local/bin/numlockx
/etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default:exec /usr/local/bin/numlockx
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default:/usr/local/bin/numlockx
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default:/usr/local/bin.numlockx


Is there anyone out there who has it working while at gdm login?

all the best,
