Hi, Try runningdpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configurationas root. It will ask you what key you want to use as compose-key/multi-key.
Indeed it does, and I asked for the Left-Logo key. In the file /etc/default/keyboard I notice that the environmentstring XKBOPTIONS is set to "lv3:ralt_switch,compose:lwin,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" so obviously the configuration has done something. But what programs read that file? I tried pressing the left windows key, holding it down and pressing ^ and then c, but I still don't get the accented character. So what am I doing wrong?

Under KDE, I had a Compose key (Multi-key?) which enabled me to produce characters with accents used in Esperanto. I no longer have KDE, so I tried using the xkeycaps program to change a key to be a Multi-key. Unfortunately, xkeycaps failed with a segmentation fault.
