Part of why I stepped away from the Dvorak layout.  US layout would
always, "just work".  Like there were times when I'd have to type
something when it was interpreted as US layout...  But...  

Would putting that command in your ~/.xinitirc or some equivalent work?
 It kind of would be nice if it could be done in the xorg.conf I do
 agree.
