Additional- What I just realized... If I open Gnome with my .xinitrc in place (exec gnome-panel), the keymap is correct as long as I accept the default appearance settings. The font sizes are pretty small, so I have been going to System > Preferences > Appearance to reset them. I find that all it takes to mess up the keymap is to open the Appearance dialog. For what it's worth.
