[BRLTTY] XCompose

[timothyhobbs at seznam.cz]

The patch worked, thanks!

I actually figured out why it was not building :)  I had somehow neglected 
to configure on the directory above...




I also just discovered the problem with those ENV args.  The correct 
sequence is:




> export GTK_IM_MODULE='xim'
> export QT_IM_MODULE='xim'





apparently this is enough even for firefox ;)





I will look into reporting the bug in gnome-terminal




Thank you for your patience,

Timothy Hobbs

I leave this one to Dave.

Oops, it merely needs to be espaced, please try attached patch.

Yes. Unfortunately, applications like reinventing everything instead of
using the standard input methods.

I have no idea.

That should be reported to gnome-terminal.

That's another solution, yes.
