I use the "classic" (not ANSI) Dvorak layout, and in addition I swap
the MENU and ALT keys.
A number of months ago, after installing Lenny, I also experienced X
crashes when trying to alter the keyboard with "dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg" -- even though I previously had been able to do so
without difficulty.
The work-around which I found is to make all keyboard layout changes
with the Gnome menu:
system -> preferences -> keyboard
