I personally don't do this because it's bad with Motif applications
(motifier doesn't work).

I just changed my keyboard setup in a way that the numbers are available
without the numlock switched on. To do this, put following in your
$HOME/.Xmodmap and restart X or run "xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap" in your
favourite shell.

,----[ $HOME/.Xmodmap ]-
| keycode 79 = 7
| keycode 80 = 8
| keycode 81 = 9
| keycode 83 = 4
| keycode 84 = 5
| keycode 85 = 6
| keycode 87 = 1
| keycode 88 = 2
| keycode 89 = 3
| keycode 90 = 0
| keycode 112 = slash
| keycode 108 = Return
| keycode 91 = period 
|

HTH.
