The proposed changes in the PPA have been uploaded to yakkety (Ubuntu
16.10). Thanks Daniel!

There is a problem, though: The new Togo compose keys don't work by
default, and the cause seems to be some kind of conflict with IBus.
(IBus is available by default in Ubuntu.)

Changing the GTK_IM_MODULE environment variable to 'xim' fixes the
problem. The easiest way to do that is to open System Settings ->
Language Support, select 'none' as the "keyboard input method system",
and relogin.

Even if there is an easy workaround, I can't help thinking that there
shouldn't be such a conflict. If I understand it correctly, IBus has
been changed to no longer interfere with X11 compose, and still it does.
:(

Added an IBus task to this bug report, and changed the title again.

  How can I help to get this feature apply as soon as possible?

  Thanks in advance for help.
