that is the curious part about it!  I don't see the difference between
the two sequences of key hits, in terms of produced keypress event.
but one sequence produces l, the other ł.

oh, you are right, on this server I seldom use anything else than
gnome-terminal.  on maemo, it happens in all programs.  on desktop debian
I only tested the gnome-terminal.

now started uxterm and oowriter and you are correct: both dead_stroke-l
and compose-/-l produce ł (l with stroke).

are you suggesting it might be a gnome problem?  I checked
System-Preferences-About Me and ther dead_stroke-l produces l (l without
stroke).  the gnome file browser -but also firefox (iceweasel)- show
the incorrect behaviour.

GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
behaves correctly, too.
