Although this isn't a problem peculiar to FreeBSD (it's an XFree86
thing), perhaps we could stick this in the FAQ somehwere, or convince
the XFree86 folks to make it more prominent.
Turn off NumLock and your menus will magically become functional
again. Alternatively (and this is what I do, because it works with my
particular setup), define the "ServerNumLock" option in the Keyboard
section of /etc/XF86Config. That let's me use the numeric keypad in
Angband, while retaining the rest of my X key bindings. :)
