It is easy to misunderstand. Especially for me with my lack of knowledge
of english. ;)

No, i have a pc105 keyboard with two keys between Alt_Right and
Ctrl-Right, not only one. In that case your key is probably rwin and you
should use compose:rwin.

Possible values can be found in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst,
search there for compose.

>However, nothing happens when I press it.

Well, if there is no menu key ... *g*

If have tried that and got, eh, interesting results. *g*

With some modifications i should be able to restore the previous
behavior, but i'm used to menu now since several years. And: i am lazy.
