Cool, now it works. A syntax error had slipped into us_intl_sh when I modified it according to your findings. Thanks a lot for your help! I don't want to think about how long it would have taken me to find out myself. There's a minor niggle left, however: Under Windows the behaviour of the dead keys is somewhat different. When a dead key is followed by a kepress with which it doesn't combine, the character of the dead key is generated followed by the character of the key pressed thereafter. For example if I press the apostrophe ' followed by the letter p the result is 'p. Under X the apostrophe is lost and just the p is printed. If I press the apostrophe twice under Windows then two apostrophes are emitted, whereas under X a single apostrophe is emitted. Is there a way to fiddle with this behaviour under X to make it work in the same fashion as under Windows?
