The problem I am trying to tackle: One of the Malayalam letters, ങ (U+0D19), is used much more commonly in its geminate form which is composed of three unicode charcters ങ ്ങ (U+0D19 U+0D4D U+0D19) which will yield the geminate form ങ്ങ So, when I type, I want the ങ to be replaced with ങ്ങ. The keyboard layout is working fine as far as I can see. It does yield the correct letters. What doesn't seem to work is the .XCompose mechanism.
One thing that would be helpful for us to know: How are you *testing* whether the .XCompose mechanism "works"? That is, after making changes to the ~/.XCompose file, what applications do you use for testing? Do you use xterm? Some other terminal emulator? Firefox? Several applications? Which ones? Do they all yield the same results?
Please tell me what I am missing.
