How do you configure a Dvorak keyboard in gnome. I got it to work in kde but no luck in gnome. I use fluxbox too so a system wide option would be prefered.

You may have to reboot the machine in the latter case for the change to take effect. Next, you will have to reconfigure your keyboard for X-windows. Edit the applicable line in 'XF86Config' to XkbLayout "dvorak" then change the following lines in "usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/dvorak' key <AE12> { [ equal, plus ] }; key <AD12> { [ bracketright, braceright ] }; to key <AE12> { [ bracketright, braceright ] }; key <AD12> { [ equal, plus ] }; to correct the keymapping error which has ']/}' and '=/+' in the wrong order.
