Hi again, FWIW Ignacio García pointed out on lyx-users that, in Ubuntu, the sequence <Compose o o> works, and I checked it and that's right.
The big question now is why does that sequence work in LyX when in all my other programs <Compose ^ 0> is the one??? By the way, I note that <Compose o o> works in K3B, another Qt-based program. So it looks like Qt and GTK perhaps maintain their own separate key-binding settings?
