[GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.0) of
 2010-04-08 on linux-nvf0]

Of all applications I know on my computer, emacs is the only one which
doesn't accept multi-key compositions.  Calling `emacs -Q' and
pressing the composite key (which I've mapped to the `Windows menu'
key), I get

  <Multi_key> is undefined

and the composition isn't performed.  This behaviour wasn't present in
previous versions of Emacs (about a half year earlier, I estimate).
Note, however, that I'm now using Xorg 1.8.0 (from openSuSE factory),
together with fairly recent versions of all other Xorg modules, so the
problem might be elsewhere.

Is this a known problem?

Dunno about Emacs, but I've seen this before in XEmacs.  It was due to
use of legacy keyboard functions rather than the XKB extensions.

Yeah, this is very annoying, I have the same problem. I don't think it
has much to do with a specific or especially recent Xorg version -- I
observe this both on Ubuntu 8.04 and current Debian unstable.

No, please make a bug-report for it.  I rely on the Multi_key for all my
French accents, so "it works for me" (under Debian testing, here).

FWIW, it works fine for me with Ubuntu 10.04.  A lot of other stuff isn't 
working fine on 10.04, but this isn't one of them :-).  But this is X.Org 
version 1.7.6.

Multi_key works fine here (git master of Xorg,xcb, et al, brz trunk of
Emacs), but I use:

  GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
  of 2010-04-23 on lugabout

It may be a GTK issue.

Probably not, I'm using a non-toolkit build.

Somewhat interestingly, it works when I run Emacs as

'env XMODIFIERS="@im=none" emacs'

..., and it _always_ works in the terminal, so maybe it has more to do
with some interaction with X input methods.
