Nope. Only the last part is true. Basically some guy (no idea who) had to play around with the order of the letters to make them less likely to jam. He paid no attention to the layout of the keys and QWERTY resulted.
EDIT:To clarify, he played around with the arms with the letters on them, not the keys.

It's very confusing if you convert a British keyboard to dvorak.

I want a dvorak keyboard.. Trouble is, aside from never having paid for a keyboard ever, keyboard shortcuts.
Like for my music player (amaroK) I press super (button that at least usually has the windows icon on it) and either of Z, X, C, V and B to go previous track, play, pause, stop or next track. On a qwerty keyboard all those letters are next to eachother right above the super key. On dvorak, it would be a bitch to either change the keyboard shortcuts (assuming that's even possible) or to put up with the standard ones designed for qwerty, unless the shortcuts would be different for dvorak?
And in games, W, S, A and D for movement - do you always have to change (at least) them, that would be annoying for some people..
