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.

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.
