Bug#544646: console-setup: ~/.XCompose file ignored
Package: console-setup
Version: 1.44
Severity: normal
I'm not sure console-setup is to blame, but I'm unsure where else to file it, and distros without it do not have this problem.
I've had some small issues with xmodmap and other small issues that weren't too hard to work around.
Here are contents of my .XCompose:

none of these key combos work for me, and everything before the Russian entries work on an Arch installation.
I have restarted X, as well as rebooted my computer.
They still have no effect.
I saw a bug related to GTK+,.XCompose and xim, but this is a problem in all apps, regardless of toolkit.
not sure where to go from here.
