Epipany web browser does not use the proper keymap when first opened.

I use the dvorak keymap.  Everything responds properly to this except epiphany.  The first time I open epiphany after turning on my computer it is always set to QWERTY.  But if I close epiphany and re-open it, it will be set to dvorak as it should be.  No other program (or that I have noticed) does this.  I have done some searches and have not come up with any answer.  Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Epipany web browser does not use the proper keymap when first opened.

By changing /etc/rc.conf I was able to fix the problem.  I changed the KEYMAP line to look like this

KEYMAP="dvorak"

instead of like this

KEYMAP="dvorak/dvorak"

I don't know why it works, but it seems to.
