Now with emacs 24.3.1 on ubuntu 14.10
and now its not working at all.

Just for context
Earlier after
$ setxkbmap -variant altgr-intl -option compose:menu

I could use compose sequences.
However it would stop working in emacs if there was a ~/.Xcompose file

Now compose is not working in emacs at all -- with or without file -- and its 
working elsewhere  - shell, python-idle etc
