Have a look at this mail : http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01608.html Ivan U. Pascal explains there the new .XCompose and $XCOMPOSEFILE implemented in the 4.4.x : 1. one can use - include "%L" - to include the DEFAULT 'common' Compose file ( <xlocaledir>/<locale name>/Compose ) 2. then one can modify these rules using, for example, something like this - "<dead_grave> <A> : Agrave" - note here that you don't need to specify the code of this letter - it will be taken according the the current locale ... That I think makes it quite independent of the keyboard layout (well, I basically always use a keyboard which has west-european-ascii characters on it, plus some local language specific characters, so this is fine for me). The problem with this solution might be - it's an Xlib solution, not an Xserver one - again - all machines that run my xapplications would need to get the same .XCompose file (and have the Xlib coming from 4.4.x ...) For the time being I see no XServer based solution which would give the same as the one described above ...
