Just in Java though I guess? I can't believe xfce allows me to do that - in fact
I know it doesn't, I just tried :)

Not, not just in Java.

And yes, xfce4 does allow this (I just tested it).

But, (and here's probably where your problem is), the feature has to be
activated.

You can activate/deactivate mouse-keys with Shift-NumLock (you should
hear a speaker beep). Now your number-pad should function as a
mouse-controller.

Oh, I meant to add: It's an X thing, not dependent on the window
manager/environment.

That makes my day!

Is it possible to fake a mouse-click?

Thanks. '-' followed by '5' results in a right-mouse click. That answered my
other question.

By the way, how did you find that? It seems the faqs.org search form is broken -
I just get 'page not found' errors instead of results.

Regards
Adam

I googled for something like "mouse cursor numpad X11", and saw that the
"Slashdot X with no Mouse Cursor" link
(http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/01/1945245) looked
promising and scanned through the comments on that article, one of which
(http://ask.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=55567&cid=5414364) had the link.

I had the advantage of knowing all this was possible (I even used to
know all the keys by heart, but have since forgotten them, not needing
them often), so it was just a matter of knowing approximately what to
look for. You didn't even know it was possible, so since Google wasn't
friendlier with its hits, it's not surprising you didn't quite know how
to find the info. I strongly suspect I've documented these keystrokes
before in this mailing list from 4 or 6 years ago, but I find it harder
to search the Debian archives than to Google in most cases. (I just
searched, and found where I first learned of it:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/10/msg03836.html, and I'm
fairly confident I've shared the info since then, although my search
just now of the Debian archives failed to support my belief.)

Since I have currently only a ThinkPad. I can not tell you exactly which
Key kombination but it was something with <Ctrl><Num> or <AltGr><Num>
maybe with <Shift>.

I have encountered this function accidentaly while Cecile (my little cat)
was hacking down some code...  :-)

It is a function of the "xserver-xorg" keyboard and has nothing
to do with any programming languages.  And of course, the Keypad
mouse-walking does even work in Micr0$oft Windose WX/Fiasco.

It seems it is nothing special...
