Do we even know what the intended behaviour is? As it is now, we have:

dead_acute + c => ç
dead_grave + c => [nothing]
compose + apostrophe + c => ç
compose + comma + c => ç

Three ways to type ç (perhaps AltGr-, works too on some layouts), and
none to type a c with an acute accent. That certainly cannot be intended
behaviour! At the least, I think having compose + apostrophe + c as a
needless duplication of compose + comma + c makes no sense.

Just to be clear, there are no satisfactory alternatives:
- Changing keyboard layout is not an option: just because I occasionally want 
to write a Croatian name (for instance), doesn't mean I can write Croatian nor 
that I am familiar with the Croatian keyboard layout. If I had to do it to be 
able to type any of the letters, that would be different, but all the others 
are right there, along with the Czech, Polish, Hungarian, Danish letters 
etc—and ç (I need ç too, but I don't need to type it in three ways…).
- Memorizing numerical codes is something I had to do on Windows, and I would 
prefer to have left that behind me.
- Fábián's workaround looked interesting but I haven't tried it, for fear of 
the flaws he found in it.
