However, the actual settings of the widget does work for me. It's just the numlock state wont be remembered from last boot.

What's the bug here? It's not clear to me.
1. The setting to indicate the numlock status not taking effect after a reboot
2. The setting to indicate the numlock status taking effect after a reboot but not being indicated as such in the settings UI
3. Numlock itself not being remembered after a reboot
