Here is the output:
grep Meta /etc/X11/XF86Config
#To set the LeftAlt to Meta, RightAlt key to ModeShift,
LeftAlt Meta
RightAlt Meta
Here is the output from various greps I thought might be helpful:
grep dvorak /etc/X11/XF86Config
XkbLayout "dvorak"
grep Meta /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.dvorak
keycode 64 = Alt_L Meta_L
Like I said the keymap that was selected for me when I selected Dvorak
during the installation was a little disfunctional, after I ran the GTK
International Keyboard applet and selected Dvorak there everything worked
fine (except that little thing with the ALT key that only effected sawmill
and that was easily fixed.) Curiously, the fix kept working even after I
stopped loading the applet and deleted my .gnome directory. I grepped my
entire home directory for "dvorak" but came up empty, so I don't know how
the applet did whatever it did to make things work or where it did it.
