Another interesting fact is that if I login to localhost: ssh localhost and then start /opt/kde3/bin/konsole from the command line, then the compose with "Ctrl+Shift" works and can produce Umlaute and accents. It seems that something is interfering but when it is removed, for example by logging into the same system, then it works. I wished I could find out what it is that interferes.

I have just noticed something interesting. Using "Ctrl+Shift" as compose fails to work only in kconsole. However, it works at least in xterm, lxterminal and even in KDE4 konsole, all within KDE3. It also does not work in KDE3 kate. So, it seems to be a problem with KDE3 applications in 13.x.
I tried activating xkb options and selecting the compose key position, but it did not solve it. I wonder whether I can disable something that is conflicting with it.

Hi David,
The only conversion about this topic was the one I had four years ago with Helga and Rolf:
https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde3/2014-03/msg00008.html
No solution was posted there. I have also tried to follow the directions using setxkbmap as described in:
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/485420-12-3-KDE-US-keyboard-and-t...
but it has no effect. I will keep trying. If anyone has any advice how to troubleshoot this, it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gianluca

Hi David,
I installed kdeutils3-extra. Thanks. However, it is strange that it does not work in this version because I was able to use it by default up to version 12.3. I have a running version of 11.3 and the "Keyboard Shortcuts" are identical.
I went to kcontrol->Regional&Accessibility->Keyboard Layout and turned on Xkb Options. There is an entry "key Position of Compose key" but it does not give me any options.
Would it help to tweak /etc/sysconfig/keyboard or /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Gianluca
Well,
I wish I could tell you the answer, but while I can recall discussions about it years ago, I don't recall the exact details (other than a few characters like '§', I don't use anything like that)
Do a search (or two) for something like "opensuse kde3 keycode entry". I suspect you will find what you are looking for.
I'll see if I can find any old notes on the subject.
