I tried this and it didn't work.  I did, however, use "gtk-key-theme" as 
the key for a google search, which lead me to searching gconf with 
gconf-editor for "key" and came up with the following key:

/desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme

On my laptop, it is set to "Emacs" but my workstation has it set to 
"Default".  I changed this to "Emacs" and now everything's working the 
way I want.

Thanks for getting me going in the right direction.
