At the same time there will be a process to easily update in the future when there are changes in the upstream file. The reason why GTK+ should duplicate (or not) Xorg's Compose were discussed at gtk-devel recently. GTK+ has a function already to append user-defined compose sequences, though I do not think the full work has been completed yet. @David: There is a bug report pending at bugzilla bug #321896 which will update the compose sequences to the latest available at Xorg’s upstream Compose file.

GTK+ has a function already to append user-defined compose sequences, though I do not think the full work has been completed yet.

I'm not sure if that file is ignored. .XCompose is, though)? It's really irritating. Besides, such stuff shouldn't be hardcoded into the toolkit. (Actually, it's annoying in general how GNOME hijacks a lot of settings (gnome-settings-daemon) and stuff.) KDE, 3 AND 4, doesn't ignore this file. Being able to hit Compose T M is WAY more user-friendly and non-stupid and ctrl-shift-u 2122.
