I've discovered that while it was(and is) working with emacs, it only worked because that was a remote session. ssh -X <ip> to anything (including localhost) allows my custom .XCompose to work, but it doesn't work without doing that. I start X from the console, and use an .xinitrc to set my locale, export a coulple workarounds for mozilla things, and start my window manager. If there's some workaround that would allow me to use my .XCompose without ssh-ing into things, that would be great.
Hopefully this helps with figuring out where the issue is. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
