           Summary: editors/emacs: Compose key stopped working with emacs

I use multiple languages and depend on the "Compose" or "Multi_key" in X to
enter some letters.  With emacs 29.1 the compose key stopped working - emacs
complained about "<Multi_key> is undefined".  So that keypress apparently got
through to emacs and wasn't handled earlier in the input stack as with previous
emacs versions.  I should also add that I define the compose key in the KDE
system settings.

I found two solutions to this problem:

1. emacs 29.1 dropped the XIM option in ports.  Enabling it made compose work
again.

2. (setq x-gtk-use-native-input 't) in emacs makes compose work again.

I think that compose should work out-of-the-box, so perhaps the latter should
be made the default, keeping the XIM option off?  Or there might be other
solutions?
