gnome 2.8 and emacs keybindings

Hello all,
   I'm feeling particularly dense right now, and would appreciate some 
help. After a recent (apparently successful) upgrade from 2.6 to 2.8, my 
emacs keybindings are gone. I found a message from Joe Marcus Clarke 
with the following:

===
For reverting all control keys to the Emacs style, just add the
following to ~/.gtkrc-2.0:

gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"

Or, if running GNOME, use the Keyboard Shortcuts capplet to change the
Text editing shortcuts to Emacs.
===

I tried creating ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with the line he mentioned, logged out, 
and logged back in (I'm running gdm) -- no difference, and I can't find 
any mention of Text editing at all in Applications -> Desktop 
Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

Grepping for 'emacs' and 'bind' in /usr/ports/UPDATING didn't come up 
with anything either.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
	- Rich
