I have no experience with modifying /etc/default/keyboard. Does your Caps Lock key work for Compose if you set it with: xmodmap -e "keysym Caps_Lock = Multi_key" Also, as mentioned before, please make sure you open a new terminal (or other X11 application) after modifying your .XCompose file. That file is only read when libx11 initializes during the start of a new client application.
