But it did not change the compose key behavior (still fails in xfce4-terminal but works elsewhere).I actually have no idea. I don't know exactly how the compose key is managed in Xorg.My intuition is it's Xorg itself who is managing it, intercepting the key presses before the application and sending it the result if any. But I don't know for sure.Also maybe the setting can be per application. Have you tried configuring the compose key in XFCE settings?Or setting it via command line before launching startxfce4?
I've been setting it in .csrhc (setxkbmap -option compose:lwin), and originally worked for everything including xfce4-terminal. It still works for everything else (including mousepad), but not for xfce4-terminal. The XFCE keyboard settings compose key setting does not seem to work for anything. -- George
