From the howto on "Linux Compose Key Sequences" (8 sept 07): you will first need to set up a compose key. Details may vary depending on your Linux setup, but it should be something like this: * Open the Control Centre / desktop configuration tool. * Select "Regional / Keyboard Layout". * Select "Xkb Options". * Scroll down to "Compose Key Position". * Select which key you would like to use as a compose key. The menu key works well for me. Following these instructions, I defined my keyboard as US-intl, but from then on I was lost: no way to select "Xkb Options", and the other two not either. Someone able to tell me how to define my "Compose Key Position"?

Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Layout -> Enable xkb options
and the other two not either. Someone able to tell me how to define my "Compose Key Position"?
