I'm not sure whether I ever totally figured it out, but I found a fix that works for me: I created a personalized ".XCompose" file in my /home directory in which I replaced every "ć" I could find with a "ç". Strangely some programmes wouldn't accept the new key combinations until I changed "Language Support > Keyboard Input method system" from "ibus" to "none". I'm not sure what the relationship is, if there is one, or if after that point the dissident applications accepted my key combinations or reverted to some other default, but since making those two changes I've had no further problems.

My system is Ubuntu 12.04, with XFCE as the desktop environment, English as the default language for most locale settings, and alternative international as the keyboard layout. Typing the cedilla character ("ç") used to be a pain until I realized that by setting the default character set to French (LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF8") in locale (both /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale), I could enter it with '+c (two successive keystrokes), instead of AltGr+comma + c (three keystrokes, first two simultaneous). In Ubuntu 10.04, as soon as the locale setting was changed, it worked across the board in all applications, including OpenOffice, but in 12.04, whereas some applications (Firefox, Thunderbird, Leafpad, Terminal etc.) now interpret '+c as a cedilla, some, including LibreOffice, Goldendict as well as all my WINE software, don't recognize the new key combination and give me an accented c "ć" instead of a cedilla.
