Any hints how to diagnose the problem? I don't have any custom
configurations for the X server at all, except this one:
,----[ /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-my-keyboard.conf ]
| Section "InputClass"
| Identifier "Default Keyboard"
| MatchIsKeyboard "on"
| Driver "evdev"
|
| Option "XkbLayout" "de"
| Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak"
| Option "XkbModel" "evdev"
| Option "XkbRules" "evdev"
| Option "XKbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
| EndSection
`----
I haven't touched that file for years, and as said, it used to work.

Hm, what's happening is actually quite different depending on
application.
- Any GNOME3 GTK+3 application, or GTK+2 applications like GIMP: I can
insert a ` by typing AltGr+< twice, or AltGr+< SPACE.
- Qt4 apps: Typing just AltGr+< immediately inserts a `, so no
composition here.
- xterm: I can't insert ` at all. Typing AltGr+< twice or AltGr+< SPACE
seems to be ignored.
Like with Emacs, I can "fix" xterm by simply starting it from a GNOME
terminal. Then typing AltGr+< has the same composing behavior as in
GNOME3 applications.
Oh, interestingly, I can also make Qt4 apps using the composing behavior
by starting them from a gnome-terminal...
Bye,
Tassilo
