Same problem here while using Xubuntu 11.10.

The usual tweaks do (briefly) light the numlock led upon login, but then
the led goes off and numlock stays off.

By 'usual tweaks' I mean:
1. sudo apt-get install numlockx
2. followed by:

either:
  (cd ~/.config/autostart;ln -s $(which numlockx))

or: 
  printf "[Desktop Entry]\nVersion=1.0\nType=Application\nName=numlockx\nExec=/usr/bin/numlockx\nStartupNotify=false\nTerminal=false\nHidden=false\n" > "$HOME/.config/autostart/numlockx.desktop"
