Hi all. I have the correct solution for you who find your Compose/Multi
key not working. The gist is that KDE put its fingers in the fray, and
when you removed some KDE program, it left behind commands in
'conffiles' that empty your modmap additions.
The /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80ubuntu-xmodmap file is created by kdebase-bin
. Make sure you can remove 'kdebase-bin' package, and its conf files.
Either of:
$ sudo dpkg -P kdebase-bin
$ apt-get remove --purge kdebase-bin
If you can rid your system of it, you may continue. If not, then this
doesn't apply to you.
(AFAICT) That conffile was somehow orphaned not long ago. Even though
you remove the package, the orphaned conffile may still exist. Check.
If '/etc/X11/Xsession.d/80ubuntu-xmodmap' still exists and
$ dpkg -S /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80ubuntu-xmodmap
says nothing owns it, then you may remove it.
After you log in next time, your compose key should work.
