This needs to go into the FAQ.  As I've posted several times before, 
Thinkpads use a weird keycode for Num_Lock.  Do this:

xmodmap -e 'keycode 77 = Num_Lock'

...and it'll work properly.  Put that xmodmap command into 
~/.kde/Autostart/ or wherever your desktop environment starts things.  
It still won't be that useful, since the keys aren't straight like a 
real number pad, but you'll be able to switch resolutions with 
Ctrl-Alt-(keypad +) if you didn't know about "xvidtune -next".
