Gnome/Firefox/keyboard question

I have just installed Fedora 7 as a possible replacement for my
Slackware 11 system.  So far it has all gone fairly smoothly and I
have most of it working.  There are just lots of bits and pieces to
install and configure.

Now to my question, I want the 'Emacs style' key-bindings in Firefox
(and presumably I'll get them elsewhere).  In particular I want CTRL/U
to be delete line rather than showing the Page Source as it does by
default.

In Slackware 11 all I had to do was to add:-

    gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"

to the .gtkrc-2.0 file in my home directory.

This isn't working in my Fedora 7 Gnome desktop, so can anyone tell me
what I need to do?
