This doesn't really do what your looking for, but a program such as
"kcharselect" would be easier to select the pound sign from than searching
the web for it I would imagine.

I have this in my xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver      "keyboard"
    Option      "CoreKeyboard"
    Option      "XkbRules"  "xorg"
    #Option     "XkbModel"  "pc104"
    Option      "XkbModel"  "pc105"
    Option      "XkbLayout" "us"
    #Option      "XkbOptions" "compose:ralt"
    Option      "XkbOptions" "compose:menu"
    #Option     "XkbOptions"  "lv3:ralt_switch,compose:menu"
EndSection

but now I am having problems with actually typing the £ I try {menu} p and
nothing
