Your keyboard is misconfigured.  Your X server should have a compose
rule that composes the dead_grave keysym with the following key, so that
Emacs doesn't see the dead_grave keysym at all (provided the composition
was sucessful).  At the very least the sequence <dead_grave> <space>
or <dead_grave> <dead_grave> should produce the <grave> keysym.
