here I run Arch Linux, wmii and Neo2 keyboard layout without such
annoyances. The only thing I've set up (at least its the only one I find
right now) for the keyboard layout is the KEYMAP variable in rc.conf.
I guess for you it would be

  KEYMAP="dvorak"

Does invoking

  setxkbmap dvorak

bring any difference for you?
