i have gkb_applet switch it automatically. i just use whatever
default name it has for the alternate keymap, and tell it to run
'gkb_xmmap dvorak' instead.

i use it everywhere. i switched a couple years ago. it took me about
a week to be able to mostly touch-type again, and about a month to get
fast again. i can switch back to qwerty if necessary, but it does
take alot of concentration, so it is very distracting.
