dvorak keyboard



i'm considering switching to dvorak, half on a whim, half because i
think it might help my geek-related wrist pain (yes, i'm icing and
am going to call a doctor soon).  two questions:

1. i can get it working in console mode fine (`loadkeys dvorak` does
   the trick), but can't seem to make it work with X.  do i need a
   different command / keymap / &c.?

2. does anyone out there use it?  was it hard to switch?  can you now
   type both layouts?  was it worth it to switch?  how long did it
   take to retrain?

i've done a fair amount of googling on this, and people seem to love
it.  i'd love to hear this list's thoughts on it.
