Yes it may be. The "normal" keyboard map slink uses, did not allow me to
compose characters like ê ë etc. so I replaced it with a map from my
kernel source directory which enables the use of the compose key. I did
not check xemacs on the original keymap.
To compensate for the problem I use emacs on the console and xemacs on X.
