This is a Dapper bug.

While several compose key combinations do work (e.g. i + period for
idotless or c + comma for ccedilla) there are many that don't.

Bug #74344 (open and close double quotes) appears to be one example of
this.

In addition I have not been able to produce anything with a caron, breve
or ogonek, nor that L-slash thing you get in Polish, nor any fractions,
nor an emdash or an endash - at least not by the combinations listed at
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xc/nls/Compose/en_US.UTF-8?view=co
(e.g. 'a' + 'v' | 'g' + 'u' | 'u' + 'a' | 'L' + '-' | '1' + '2' | '-' +
'-' + '.' ). Most of these combinations don't produce any character at
all (only a brief flicker on the screen), except for the endash and
emdash combinations, which produce '-.' and '--' respectively.

I have tried a number of fonts, including arial and gentium. I know that
at lleast one of these characters works in these fonts because I was
able to paste a g-breve from a webpage into Abiword and change its font.

The problem occurs equally in Abiword and SeaMonkey.
