Subject: dot/profile: Persuade Gtk and QT programs to use X compose sequences.
X-Git-Url: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~mdw/git/profile/commitdiff_plain/eb174df866e5fde91cb2bd2869faef41ac7ab9b5?ds=sidebyside

dot/profile: Persuade Gtk and QT programs to use X compose sequences.

Without this, apparently, they use (different!) built-in hardwired
mappings.  This is crazy.  The XIM sequences are user-editable and
everything.
