Interesting.

Starting Emacs from the command line, I get emacs ** (emacs:14442): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-hJwGKKvPZH: Connection refused There is nothing remotely like that file. However, that seems to be a red herring regarding _this_ problem since with XMODIFIERS="" emacs I get the same error message (including the same file name), but indeed the compose character starts working. -- David Kastrup
