I believe that xmodmap may have some nasty interactions with xkb. Try modifying the /etc/X11/XF86Config file to include (assuming that you have the same keyboard as me)
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "en_US"
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:menu"The critical settings are en_US and compose:menu. The en_US triggers the inclusion of the ISO9995-3 compose set. You can do this and restart X.
Note that although I can get this compose functionality in gnome-terminal and gedit, I cannot get any comprise functionality in Java apps or KDE apps like Konsole.
Let me know how you go.

Compose = e
It doesn't work for me.
I did an everything install of RH 9, on a Sony Vaio z505-le, choosing US-type choices, but I later added a menukey (xmodmap -e "keysym Menu = Multi_key").
I can compose various things, but not a euro character. Just now I fired up Abiword and typed a US cents character (compose | c), it worked, but cycling through all the default (everything) type faces, composing = e, never did I get a euro.
