In no particular order, that 'something' could be:

1) Settings in /etc/default/keyboard. Applies at every boot and every X
session start.
Just add you preferences to XKBOPTIONS like this:

XKBOPTIONS="compose:menu"


2) XFCE xkb-plugin applet (~/.config/xfce4/panel/xkb-plugin-[0-9].rc).
Edit this configuration file like this:
never_modify_config=true
compose_key_position=compose:menu


3) Some custom Input Method (be it XIM, SCIM or whatever). The solution
is to deinstall it unless you really need it.
