Further information. I tested KWrite, Gimp, Konsole, and Audacity and Compose
Key works fine in all of them. Emacs, LibreOffice and Opera remain the only
three programs I have found where Compose Key does not work following the
upgrade to SUSE 13.1. However, I found these three and also Openoffice and
Skype in a list of programs which use neither gtk nor qt. I don’t have
Openoffice or Skype, but my guess is that the Compose Key has stopped working
with these programs too.
I found that Compose Key worked with all three programs, Emacs, Libreoffice and
Opera, when I started them with the XMODIFIERS environment variable unset
(rather than being set to “@im=ibus”, which seems to be the default in SUSE
13.1).
I have set up a hack which has solved the problem for me personally. I set up
a bash shell script as follows:
#!/bin/bash
env -u XMODIFIERS /usr/bin/emacs "$@"
placed it at /usr/local/bin/emacs - and hey presto, emacs works as it should
with Compose Key. Similary for libreoffice and opera.
By the way, I have a UK physical keyboard, although I don’t expect that makes
any difference.
