what details, I don't really know. It might be Ubuntu specific, because
it appeared long ago when I switched from SuSE to Ubuntu. At the time I
figured it must have to do with a newer Emacs, because xterm and all Gtk
and Qt apps had and have no problem. Sorry I didn't report it then, I
guess this is two years back.
I think compose is not pertinent, because IMHO that does the combining
in the X-server and sends the combined char, as though you had a key for
it, like German äöüß is no problem even without loading iso-transl.
I'm attaching my very personal keymap (which covers my normal German
external keyboard, the built in American one, with Z and Y switched
German style and Esperanto letters). I've stuffed in all dead-keys,
like AltGr-, for cedilla, AltGr-Shift-, for ogonek and AltGr-^ for
circumflex. I load it with xkbcomp -xkb .X/keymap/daniel $DISPLAY, but
you could just as well just set one dead key with xmodmap IIRC.
