I'm begining to wonder if GTK3 or GNOME3 maintain their own (presumably outdated) copies of the xkb-data keymaps? At least, what is shown whenever selecting "Show keyboard map" from the keyboard applet in gnome-shell doesn't quite match what I'm supposed to be using (fi-Kotoistus keymap), which might explain other problems such as this unability to generate D-slash or L-slash using only compose sequences from the Kotoistus keymap within GNOME applications.
