Dear misc@,

I'm struggling to get my compose keys to work in things outside of
xterm. I can type all the nice special characters I want there using
AltGr, but for whatever reason they do not work anywhere else.

Everything is "stock" in my keyboard settings, haven't modified
anything with xkbdmap or other things.

I'm using i3, here are a few configuration settings I think might be
relevant:

```
$ cat ~/.xsession
#!/bin/sh

. ~/.profile

export ENABLE_WASM=1
export TERMINAL=alacritty
export TERM=xterm-256color
export LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8
export XCOMPOSEFILE=$HOME/.XCompose
sh $HOME/.config/background/fehbg
exec /usr/local/bin/i3

$ cat ~/.XCompose
include "%L"

$ cat ~/.config/i3/config
# This file has been auto-generated by i3-config-wizard(1).
# It will not be overwritten, so edit it as you like.
[...]
set $mod Mod4
[...]
bindcode $mod+40 exec "rofi -modi drun,run -show drun"
bindcode $mod+117 exec rofimoji
# The rest is default
```

Any hints? Would love to be able to actually type things like "£"...

Thanks

requiem
