 At some point over the last year, the behaviour of the compose key on my 
 Gentoo-based X setup changed.
 
 Previously I could do this:
 Press compose key
 Press shift
 Press # (UK keyboard: shift + # = ~)
 Release #
 Release shift
 Release compose
 Press n
 
 That would give me the character ñ
 
 Something changed (not sure what or when) and now the above sequence no 
 longer works. It has to be adjusted so that the compose key is released 
 before pressing any further characters in the sequence:
 
 Press compose key
 Release compose key
 Press shift
 Press #
 Release #
 Release shift
 Press n
 Release n
 
 I find that this makes typing considerably harder and I often have to 
 retry 3 or 4 times until I get what I wanted.

Turns out that this is a GTK+ issue, why did it take me months to think 
of that?

Hi,
In /etc/X11/xorg.conf i have:

Section ServerFlags
#   Allow ctrl-alt-backspace
 Option DontZap false
EndSection

but ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't work.
(Recent xorg server from debian/unstable: Version: 2:1.6.4-2)
