Wow; it's been years since I've checked this e-mail. Thanks for the follow-up. I think it's a question of the keys being unbound since I upgraded from the previous version. It is specifically related to the gui applications as the keys are bound and work properly in regular terminal windows.
I'm getting a lot of this in my ~/.xsession-errors file: --- BEGIN SNIPPET --- expected keysym, got XF86KbdLightOnOff: line 70 of pc last scanned symbol is: XF86KbdLightOnOff expected keysym, got XF86KbdBrightnessDown: line 71 of pc last scanned symbol is: XF86KbdBrightnessDown expected keysym, got XF86KbdBrightnessUp: line 72 of pc last scanned symbol is: XF86KbdBrightnessUp Error: Meta_L added to symbol map for multiple modifiers Using Mod4, ignoring Mod1.

I'm pretty sure it's a local configuration problem; I just don't know how it was born during upgrade -- will all users of Dvorak keyboards experience this same issue?
