It seems that part of the issue could be that Ubuntu has a local that uses unicode. Not sure what that means in detail, but perhaps it's a difference from Solaris?
Whether there is a native compose key or not is not really the issue, AFAICT. The issue is: why would characters fail to appear in LyX if they appear correctly in every other X program on my system?
