[Bug 1573755] Re: Compose and dead keys stopped working with XIM after upgrade to 16.04

[Pierre Abbat]

I upgraded from Trusty to Xenial. Before the upgrade, the compose key was working in all applications, except maybe Torchat (which I hadn't used for months before the upgrade). After the upgrade:
*Konqueror works properly when I use the Dvorak layout and the compose key. If, however, I switch to Greek and attempt to type an accented iota, I get an accented c (ć) instead. (The accent is a dead key in the Greek layout.)
*In Kate, Kwrite, and Kmail, it works only if the resulting character code is less than 256 (I can type ÿ, but not Ÿ, which I have to copy from Konqueror).
*In Firefox, Torchat, and Konsole, it does not work at all. I hit compose and two keys that should make a character, but get nothing.
