No that did not work
However Ive found what made it stop working:
I had created a .XCompose file containing the one line
<Multi_key> <less> <bar> : "↵" U21B5
No I am not very addicted to the ↵ character -- just trying out how easy
it is to add one's own compose-sequences
Removing the .XCompose file makes it work again.
This of course raises more questions than it answers:
Minor: If its a bug/inconsistency then in whom
Significant: I thought X was one (or more) levels below emacs.
Why is emacs (effectively) looking into .XCompose?
Because currently the behavior I am seeing is:
- Other apps *add* contents of .XCompose to the builtin composeables
- Emacs *replaces* builtins with .XCompose
