Compose key in X

[Johann Spies <jspies@maties.sun.ac.za>]

I have tried using xkeycaps to set the compose key:

keycode 0x4E =	Scroll_Lock	NoSymbol	Multi_key

When I try it out in emacs, it does not work at all.  In the
gnome-terminal I get
-------------------------
js@bywoner:~$ ^e
bash: :s^e: substitution failed
js@bywoner:~$ 
-------------------------

In xterm, as in emacs, the Control-Scrollock combination is ignored
and the result is just "s^e" in stead of "sê".

I had it working on another Debian machine but is struggling on this
one: Potato/Storm - helix-gnome

Any ideas?
