I applied the patch from https://reviews.freebsd.org/D27846 to my ports

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
.cshrc does not look like the correct place for it anyway. That file is
executed multiple times during a session. I'm not sure how it can work
for everything else. Also the fact that XFCE has it's own configuration,
if it's not configured from there could cause conflicts.
IMHO a better place would be .xsession if using a display manager or
Xinit if using startx.
If using XFCE as your DE it's own settings tool would be the best place.
