Not LyX. X11. 

You need to define the keyboard mapping; see "man xmodmap" for details. Here 
I have a file in my $HOME directory, .Xmodmap that I execute when starting an 
X session by running from my .xsession script:

xmodmapfile=$HOME/.Xmodmap
if [ -f $xmodmapfile ];    then xmodmap $xmodmapfile; fi

In turn, .Xmodmap contains the all important:

add Mod2    = Multi_key Multi_key

Ie, I define key "Mod2" to be the compose key, both with and without shift.

Best regards,
Angus
