I have tried:

XMODIFIERS="" emacs

and:

/usr/bin/env -u XMODIFIERS emacs 

And both of them get rid of the '<Multi_key> is undefined' emacs message, but that's it.  The letter with the accent, as it appears at the (k)console, firefox, sylpheed-claws client, etc... is not shown in emacs.

Chinese.  Well, I try, as it seems to be quite broken in Linux Mint 17.  Either it is broken, or the OS input method has seen some changes.  emacs does have a Chinese input mode these days although it is really not nice to use.  I'm used to ibus and emacs and have written a lot of text easily that way, on a previous OS (Linux Mint 14, which I still boot when I have specifically Chinese text to write).  Now I would like to use a more recent OS, and add actual pinyin notation alongside Chinese hanzi.

So, so far, no, unsetting XMODIFIERS does not work.
