More on Compose key

["Peter B. West" <pbwest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I always imagined that the Compose key functionality of either the VTs 
or X11 was transparent to applications, but not so, apparently.  With 
RH9 using KDE the Compose functionality works with:

gnome-terminal (using current locale when that is en_AU.UTF-8)
gedit
mozilla (with character coding set to UTF-8)

It doesn't work for Kedit or Kate, Konsole, or in Java apps.  It doesn't 
work in an xterm invoked as
xterm -u8
even though a file with utf-8 characters displays correctly.

What is going on?  How do I get other Unicode-aware apps to accept 
Compose key input?
