Hello !
I may also be missing something, but the compose key is not handled the
same way in GNOME (there is a menu in the Keyboard options) and Xfce
(you have to edit xorg.conf). I do not know about KDE or other DEs. So
it looks a little difficult to have a default setting.
Once again, this may be a moot point if there is a global environment
variable that I missed :)

Cheers,
Isabelle.
