When I installed numlockx the binary /usr/bin/numlockx was installed. 
Nothing was put into /usr/X11R6/bin from it.
I modified the addition to the Xsetup_0 accordingly and tried it but it
did not work.

I then removed the change fro Xsetup_0 and added the line to my
~/.bash_profile and it works perfectly for me.

I don't know if the i386 package is any different but suspect it is not.
I installed the x86_64 package and am using FC5.
