It's worse than that, because the XFree86 behavior is known to be
incompatible with various commercial servers (specifically, Sun's).
Unless you special-case the servers according to vendor, there is no
right way to do it---the code that XFree86 developers recommended as a
workaround eats the Compose key (inter alia) on Sun. Recent GTK+ has
some way to work around this, but it was not obvious how to apply to
XEmacs's event loop.
I think we should port our keyboard code to XKB where available (ISTR
this breakage requires XKB to have its intended effect in XFree86, so
this should cover all bases properly).
