bug#6102: 24.0.50; Problems with Multi_Key

[Werner LEMBERG <wl@gnu.org>]

Of all applications I know on my computer, emacs is the only one which
doesn't accept multi-key compositions.  Calling `emacs -Q' and
pressing the composite key (which I've mapped to the `Windows menu'
key), I get

  <Multi_key> is undefined

and the composition isn't performed.  This behaviour wasn't present in
previous versions of Emacs (about a half year earlier, I estimate).
Note, however, that I'm now using Xorg 1.8.0 (from openSuSE factory),
together with fairly recent versions of all other Xorg modules, so the
problem might be elsewhere.
