Hi,

There is no us dvorak keyboard standard that provides non-dead latin letter, such as ôéù...

So I've made one, trying to make it reasonable: all accentuated letters (excepted ç) are on the left hand, near the normal letters.

The attached version of /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us, provides a new sub-layout, called dvorak-intl.

I know it is mostly french/german oriented, and probably not easy to extend to south latin languages, because all the voyel space with a single modifier is already taken (Of course, with the use of shift, there is still plenty of space).

Nevertheless as no such keyboard exists, and because us-intl exists but not dvorak-intl, I post it there as a suggestion. Feel free to include it if you think it is useful and fits with X.org keyboard policy.

Thanks, committed. 
Next time - could you please attach not the entire file but a patch - and do not use tab characters if possible (or have them properly set).

BTW http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig/Rules is a good reading ;)
