Darryl....I know nothing about Gnome, but in KDE there is a
setting called 'International Keyboard'.  If you have a little
aqua square with En in it on the far right edge of the panel
(just left of the clock) then right click on it.  Then choose
setup and add English Dvorak.  After adding this you'll be
able to toggle between the two keyboards by left-clicking the
little square.

If you don't yet have the square there then open the KDE
Control Panel and choose Input devices and International
keyboard to access the add keyboard function and be sure to
check both autostart and docked in the StartUp tab.
