** Description changed:
I just upgraded Xubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, and I noticed my compose key
wasn't working in any application in X. I verified my compose key was
still set up in /etc/default/keyboard:
XKBOPTIONS="compose:ralt"
I googled around and ran these two commands:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
sudo update-initramfs -u
But the problem persists. I notice that the compose key works fine in
the console, but it doesn't work in any X application, including the
terminal.
+ Here's my current workaround:
+ echo "setxkbmap -option compose:ralt" >> ~/.xprofile
+
It looks like I'm not the only one experiencing this, and it doesn't
seem limited to Xfce:
