I've been setting it in .csrhc (setxkbmap -option compose:lwin), and
originally worked for everything including xfce4-terminal.  It still
works for everything else (including mousepad), but not for
xfce4-terminal.  The XFCE keyboard settings compose key setting does
not seem to work for anything.                            -- George
