X'-)

It might be a very good idea that this is enabled by default
in .Xmodmap (if it isn't already? I'm not at home right now so can't
check to see if Carlos' instructions work for me)

I believe it is enabled by default.

no, and ~/.Xmodmap is not there unless you generate it yourself (since
10.1 or earlier ??).

from cl "xmodmap" will show present key assignments,

wahoo:~ > xmodmap -pk |grep -i compose
[no output]

and that this is
clearly documented somewhere (ie keystrokes for the different chars).
If we can make it clear that typing these chars is relatively easy to
do, this might ease the pain of the transition a little....

It is documented, but I don't know where.

examples exist: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/xmodmap.std
