If this is nothing Emacs can do about, why is it working with Gnome-terminal, Firefox, Gedit, the search box of Evince, even the GTK file selector called from Emacs (when using the mouse in the File/Open menu) and basically every other application on my system? Can you name a single _other_ application rather than Emacs that should have a non-working Multi_key if "compose handling [was] broken on my system"? If it is only Emacs showing that problem, shouldn't there be a workaround even if you insist that Emacs is "correct" according to some spec nobody else appears to be using? -- David Kastrup
