The problem is that this is not something that KDE controls. numlock goes off
when X starts, that is X's behavior. KDE can change it after logging in and
there are three options:
Turn on: turn on numlock no matter what it was before login
Turn off: turn off numlock no matter what it was before login
Leave unchanged: leave numlock to the same state as it was before login.

Before login, normally kdm (or some other login manager) runs. Now, if you are
in kdm's screen and you enable numlock, with "leave unchanged" it will be left
unchanged when you enter your password and log in. With "turn off", though, it
will be turned off right after login.

I hope you understand what I mean. KDE can control what numlock does by the
time the user logs in. Before that, numlock is not controlled by KDE. And bear
in mind that X always starts with numlock disabled.
