You can also combine them:
setxkbmap -option compose:lwin -option compose:menu
You can set this globally by adding the commands above to the login profiles
/etc/csh.login.local and/or /etc/profile.local.
I'll try these the next time. good information - the information is on
the webs but often hard to work out from the context.
before the catastrophe, I used a combination 'shift key' + 'double
quote' as dead-key. not sure how that got encoded, I must have set it
up.
More information is here:

I am also not entirely sure that the plural of Umlaut is Umläute. According
to the Duden I have, the plural of "Laut" is "Laute" (without Umlaut). But I
may be mistaken.
No, I think you are right!

I wrote the above in February and got some tips about restoring Umlauts (or
as I am proud
to say now Umläute) but to no avail. (But thanks, Bill, and others!)
I tried through the Trinity Control Center -- after all, things had worked
that way from
the first installation -- but no joy (using a Q4os blend of TDE).
Frustrating. Plus I had problems with double quotes and single quotes but
solved them, not
sure how, mainly restoring a setting that worked before.
But months of 'ae' and 'ue' and 'oe'! dispiriting.
Decided to dive under the gui. edited /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us and
dumped some key
codes (diaeresis markers added to a, u and o), restarted the session and
after a couple of
mistrials and adjustments the Umläute are back!
I would like to change the compose key but haven't found the incantation
yet.
Anyway, the trick was to dump the following into
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us:
key <AD07> { [ u, U, udiaeresis, Udiaeresis ] };
key <AD09> { [ o, O, odiaeresis, Odiaeresis ] };
key <AC01> { [ a, A, adiaeresis, Adiaeresis ] };
key <AC02> { [ s, S, U00DF, NoSymbol ] };
how does the 'us' file determine the compose key, or is that set through
the Control
Center? it must be possible to set it here instead.
in my case the 'us' file set for:
xkb_symbols "basic" {
name[Group1] = "English (US)";
....
I have not played with .xmodmap.
