Apple themselves recognize that Numlock must be supported on non-apple
OSes:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1216

In short, yes, Clear button is supposed to work as a Numlock, only not
in MacOS.

I've seen many discussions on this topic already, I think whatever
hardware is used, Ubuntu must support what Ubuntu users want. If this
particular keyboard is plugged into a Mac it's a Mac keyboard, when it's
used with Windows it's a Windows keyboard, and when used with Ubuntu? I
guess it should be Ubuntu keyboard!

I'm an Ubuntu user and I want Numlock. I don't care whether it is
supposed to be used as such or not. I don't care about what is printed
on the buttons (there are keyboards without any text at all, so what?).
I want the functionality that I'm used to.
