Wayne, I have tried that image on Sid, same xorg components, and tleds 
does *not* light the leds, when I am in X.

I changed the tleds code to use X routines instead of ioctl's (which was 
in the upstream version but removed by Debian) and guess what:

there is a bug in xbase-clients (now 7 years old) that prevents NumLock 
and CapsLock from turning on :-(

But... there is a -n option in tleds introduced by Debian that only 
turns on the ScrollLock LED.

So I run tleds with the -n option and my own xtleds in X and now I 
always have a traffic indicator in the ScrollLock LED.
