Subject: [PATCH] dot/profile: Persuade Gtk and QT programs to use X compose
 sequences.
Organization: Straylight/Edgeware

From: Mark Wooding <mdw@distorted.org.uk>

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