- open /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
- locate the variable 'COMPOSETABLE'
    its contents is a space separated list of 
    filenames without extension
- find the corresponding files in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/include/*
- open those files and find the key-combo's

Can't find a keycombo? There's always KCharSelect on KDE, and I'm 
sure GNOME has something similar... ;-)
