Bad form to answer my own query, but better than having someone else
slave to solve the problem ... The reason my compose key didn't work
with LyX after the switch to a new Solaris-2.6 machine is that LANG on
the new machine was set to C. Adding
LANG=en_US
export LANG
to ~/.dtprofile fixed it. Sorry for the false alarm. LyX is happy,
and I am too.
I'm surprised that the compose key still worked in xterm and xemacs
with LANG=C.
