Title:
  numlockx is always invoked and i can't switch off

Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm in a fresh install of Lubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (three days ago).

  Because the default greeter for Lubuntu (lightdm-gtk-greeter) doesn't
  fit my requeriments, i installed pantheon-greeter from the Elementary-
  OS repository (only essentials deb files, not installing the PPA
  repository) and one of the requeriments of pantheon-greeter is
  numlockx.

  The greeter is working like should be, but when i start a session, the
  numlock is on after the greeter, and my notebook doens't have it,
  making keys JKLUIO -> 123456 respectively and so on, having to turn
  off manually every time.

  This can't be a problem with pantheon-greeter because if i config
  again to use lightdm-gtk-greeter, is happening again. Since i install
  pantheon-greeter (and its dependency numlockx) it's happening in all
  greeters.

  The problem is can't configure it. In /etc/lightdm/pantheon-
  greeter.conf "activate-numlock=false" do nothing, in
  /etc/lxdm/default.conf is unchanged as default (## uncomment and set
  to set numlock on your keyboard ↲ # numlock=0) and change it do
  nothing, and any other option (/etc/xdg/autostart/*,
  /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart, ...) and everything i searched
  in internet simply do nothing.

  I'm talking about numlockx because i know it's numlockx what is
  invoked for something, i created a dummy script replacing
  /usr/bin/numlockx what make a registry of what program is calling
  numlockx and always is "/bin/bash /usr/sbin/lightdm-session
  /usr/bin/lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE" after greeter login.
