Description Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2011-01-30 19:39:38 UTC 
XCompose seems to not work with GTK+ 2.99.x. It works in GTK+2 programs.

% echo $GTK_IM_MODULE 
xim

How do you determine that it is not working ?

> How do you determine that it is not working ?

When I press <MENU>, <(>, <+>, <)> it does not react as oppose to inserting ⊕ as configured in .XCompose (which works in gtk+ 2).
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2011-01-31 15:54:33 UTC 
And MENU is your compose key, I assume

Yes. Set in gnome-control-center (first in 2.x and now in 3.x). I've double checked it.
Comment 5 Matthias Clasen 2011-02-01 03:41:56 UTC 
I can confirm that it does not work. Do you have any idea how recently it broke ?
Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2011-02-01 05:14:31 UTC 
It turns out that this was broken by the switch to XI2.

Adding a gdk_disable_multidevice() before gtk_init() fixes it.
